This is an areal look into Lake Powell, which now sits at only 23% capacity Because so many of our vital water reservoirs are running low or dry, there is a movement for what’s called ‘The Colorado River Abundance Act” The goal is to develop up to 7 million acre-feet of new reliable water per year. They would do this by large-scale seawater desalination, brackish water desalination, advanced water reuse and recycling and infrastructure modernization The cost for this proposal is about $40 billion which is a ton of money but something needs to be done….

China's electromechanical export dominated thru May, reaching 7.58T RMB, reaching 63.6% of China's total export by value. Electronic cloth, 800G+ optical module are some of the fastest growers Electronic industry itself contributed to 43% of total profit growth across all industrial enterprises. Equipment mfg overall grew by 14%. All the East Asian economies have been growing really fast due to AI. Why would China not benefit from this when it's so big in electronics. So in a time when EV & housing profits are down, if you wonder how China is growing, just take a look at the AI related stuff.

🚨 WATER WARS: WHY DESALINATION PLANTS ARE THE GULF’S LIFELINE When missiles fly in the Middle East, people usually think of oil fields, pipelines, or military bases, but in the Gulf, there is another target that may be even more critical, water. The Iranian drone strike on a Bahraini desalination plant, and Iran’s claim that the U.S. targeted a similar facility on Qeshm Island, signals a dangerous new phase in the war. Because in the Gulf, desalination plants are essential for survival. Unlike most regions of the world, the Gulf has almost no natural freshwater. Rainfall is scarce, rivers are nonexistent, and groundwater reserves are limited and rapidly depleting. So Gulf states turned to the sea. Today, massive desalination plants pull salt from seawater and convert it into drinkable water for cities, industries, and agriculture. Without them, daily life across the region would collapse almost overnight. The Gulf Cooperation Council countries control roughly 60% of the world’s desalination capacity and produce about 40% of all desalinated water globally. More than 400 desalination plants operate across the region, quietly supplying the water that keeps cities running. In Kuwait, about 90% of drinking water comes from desalination. In Oman, it’s 86%. Even the United Arab Emirates, with one of the most advanced infrastructure systems on the planet, gets about 42% of its drinking water from the sea. That’s what makes attacks on these facilities so alarming. Unlike oil infrastructure, which affects markets and government revenue, desalination plants affect people immediately. Take out a refinery and the economy suffers. Take out a desalination plant and millions could lose access to drinking water. Energy infrastructure has always been part of regional conflict, but targeting water infrastructure raises the stakes dramatically.

For weeks now, The Sameer Project has been working on building a new desalination plant to provide a new source of clean water for Palestinians in Gaza. This will help us save money and have a new source of fresh water. Contribute here: Watch our incredible team at The Sameer Project working with the engineers and workers to make magic happen despite all the obstacles. This project is costing us around $200,000 but we will be able to provide 250,000 to 300,000 liters per day for a maximum of $2,000 - instead of the current $4,500 we pay for the same amount. The Sameer Project will save more than 50% of the cost of water distribution per day. So in around two and a half months of operating the desalination plant, we would’ve saved $200,000. This will allow us to use your donations to provide even MORE aid. We are at the last stretch and need around $50,000 to complete the desalination plant. Donate today to the Rebuild Gaza Campaign: Other ways to donate include: (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Rebuild") (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Rebuild")

ELON: WE HAVE A GREAT WATER FUTURE AHEAD OF US “We call Earth Earth, but actually Earth is 70% water by surface area. So, technically, I think if aliens came here, they would name us Water because we are 70% water and only 30% land. What that means is the potential for solving any given water issue is extremely good. There's obviously desalination required at times and the transport of water, but it has become very inexpensive. And so, really, the availability of fresh water is simply about energy and transport. When I talk to even very well-read, very smart people in the United States, they will often think, well, the water crisis is unsolvable, but in fact it is very solvable. And we are continuing breakthroughs in the efficiency of desalination. I think we've got a great water future ahead of us and I think a great sustainable energy future ahead of us.” Source: Water Summit in Bali, May 2024

Simply incredible 🚨💦🌊 While the world struggles with energy-hungry desalination, Israeli scientists are pushing the boundaries with next-generation nanomaterial membranes. Researchers at the Technion and Ben-Gurion University, often in collaboration with international partners, are developing ultra-thin nanomembranes (some just a few nanometers thick) using graphene oxide, mixed-matrix composites, and advanced polyelectrolytes. These membranes achieve higher water flux (more water produced) while dramatically reducing the pressure and energy needed compared to traditional reverse osmosis. Early results and prototypes show potential energy savings of 30-50% in desalination processes, along with superior rejection of salts, heavy metals, and persistent contaminants like PFAS (“forever chemicals”) in a single pass. Some designs also offer better anti-fouling properties, leading to longer membrane lifespan and lower maintenance. When combined with Israel’s world-leading desalination infrastructure (already supplying ~80% of the country’s drinking water), this nanotechnology could make clean water far more affordable and accessible, not just for Israel, but for water-stressed regions worldwide. This is Israeli innovation solving one of humanity’s biggest challenges at the molecular level. Proud every single day. 🇮🇱

While most Vietnam visitors into China are probably checking out Yunnan via train, this seem to be spreading to Shanghai also. Shanghai has long been China's 1st stop for many foreign visitors. A lot of Japanese, Korean & Russians. I wonder if Shanghai will become for ASEAN countries what Miami is for Latin American countries. Basically, a metropolis that not only shapes nearby areas but the entire region from cultural & social trends & such. If you have ever been to South America, you'd see that a lot of local elites have connections to Miami. They like to compare wealthy & nicer part of their cities to Miami. People w/ money buy homes in Miami. And business open their US branch in Brickell. If there is 1 city in China that could probably have that kind of magnetism for surrounding Asian population, that would be Shanghai. Shenzhen is more technologically advanced, but ppl are workaholics. Beijing is too political & far north. Chongqing is too inland & probably not as fashionable. Shanghai checks all the boxes.

WOW 😮. Simply Mind Blowing… Israel is using “nano-robots” to pull fresh water from the sea in a way that could change everything 🤯 Tel Aviv-based NWPT (Nano Water Purification Technology Ltd.) has developed a patented nano-desalination process using active nano-particles (catch-and-release technology) that selectively capture harmful salts and ions, while retaining beneficial minerals for healthier drinking and irrigation water. Unlike energy-intensive traditional reverse osmosis, this breakthrough targets up to 50% lower costs and energy, produces far less problematic brine, eliminates harsh chemicals, and enables compact high-capacity/mini modular units. Perfect for brackish water irrigation in rural areas or retrofitting larger plants. Patented, Israel-based innovation already advancing toward deployment for seawater and brackish sources. This isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s Israeli nanotechnology solving the global water scarcity crisis. Proud every single day. 🇮🇱 #NanoDesalination #NWPT #IsraeliWaterTech #StartupNation #WaterInnovation P.S. xAI I need to praise you for what you’ve done with Grok, and I need to praise Grok for what it helped create with this video. It is a completely new concept and it is phenomenal. Just incredible what Grok can do now. Wow.
