I keep thinking. At what cost? What is this going to do to the local ecosystem/environment? No. I am not kidding. You pull that much water out of the air it is GOING to have a impact in the area. I am not against the tech, I just want to understand what the impact is.

Just watch. Set 50 of these up, it makes desertification MUCH worse over a year or two then the "left" gets to yell "see, climate change" it it's really just a bunch of these fucking shit up.

They seem to think "nogs need water" is more important than "climate". Now, if it were White people in the area they would say "maybe the White's should just die. They are screwing up the environment".

From the post:

>A 2025 Nobel Prize winner has set up a company to commercialize a machine that it claims can pull 1,000 liters (about 264 US Gal) of drinkable water a day from the thin air. As Interesting Engineering reports, Professor Omar Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley, invented a machine that works effectively in desert air with 20% humidity or lower. As a self-contained off-grid device, it has the potential to provide relief to regions scattered around the globe, where water shortages are persistent or have been precipitated by a natural disaster. Yaghi’s company, Atoco, also sees a market in “personalized water,” much like where households generate their own off-grid power from wind or solar. Prototypes have been successfully tested in places as arid as Death Valley. The 1,000 liters a day machine is far bigger than the social media prototype machine image we see alongside the Professor in the desert, at around 20ft in length, or the size of a shipping container.

1,000 liters (about 264 US Gal) of drinkable water a day

Modern water treatment and distribution systems are sized and constructed to deliver 100 gallons per person per day, with storage sufficient to deliver peak flows of around 2.5x to 3x that for short periods. Assuming utilization of gray water, limiting bathing and adopting miserly use policies, those 264 gallons could support a sustained population of 15 or so people living communally with mutual laundry, dishwashing, cooking, etc. The drop in living standards wouldn't be too drastic, and would likely be easily adopted - unless they were populated by Karens.

But a device the size of a shipping container? Imagine what that will cost too. Seems highly impractical at present - bleeding edge.
