Comments on: Tesla's Model S Plant 99% Certain to Be Built in Downey, California http://gas2.org/2009/11/24/teslas-model-s-plant-99-certain-to-be-built-in-downey-california/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Solar powered desalination off the California coast could bring us the water for crops we can no longer count on as our snow melt goes and the Colorado dries up. There's plenty of infrastructure needed as climate changes - and jobs building it. That’s a great idea, Chuck.

Aircraft carriers are equivalent to cities of over 6000 persons. Yes it would take a lot of desalination plants, but this would provide redundancy and stop taking water from the farms where our food is grown. WE have the capability. The plants could be scaled up considerably. We have provided them to other countries that need fresh water. Why do we not use them ourselves?
