Sounds great- I’ll believe it when it enters wide scale use.
I'll believe it when nestle buys the patent and buries it
Wouldn't nestle themselves benefit from this tech so they can stop catching flak for using local dried out water sheds that are probably harder to get water from than this?
They’ll buy out this, use it to produce water at bargain prices, and charge twice the price for that water because it’s “green”
They’ll then sell it back to the places they’ve been stealing from for decades, and call it charity. Rubes will eat it up as nestle turning a new leaf, and the shareholders will take in more billions of dollars off the suffering of families.
Nah you're absolutely right, my optimism needed to be taken down a peg
