Not the sand at Siesta Beach in Florida. It's white quartz and does not reflect the sun. Very strange to walk onEver walk on the beach barefoot in the summer? That sand is about 4 degrees away from spontaneous combustion.
Our sand burns. I mean, "300 miles from water, 30 feet from hell".Not the sand at Siesta Beach in Florida. It's white quartz and does not reflect the sun. Very strange to walk on
Lake Erie sand burns too. Could be from the cig butts in the sand thoughOur

No wonder the plants all catch on fire.
You know... If the world is worried about ocean levels rising, is there not a way to de-salinate the water and pump it inland to places like that?Our

Even when I smoke cigarettes, I have never understood why people do not just stub them out and put the butt in their pocket. It is not hard to not litter!Lake Erie sand burns too. Could be from the cig butts in the sand though
Yes. Desalination tech has existed for thousands of years. Even with modernization, it's expensive though because it requires a lot of energy. I know Multiple nations in the middle East leverage desalination today, but the process needs to keep being improved to become more energy efficient in order to really see it be adopted as common.You know...

I originally had that thought when I was writing a futuristic sci-fi short. I never understood why it was never implemented. Yes, it would cost billions of dollars, but is that not better than risking millions of lives?
Ok, I knew almost none of that. I thought I just had a really good idea when I was, like, 18. I had no idea places actually kind of do it. I think I wanted lions to have more drinkable water when I thought of it. But now I think, well, why do no companies donate the services/materials? If the world's governments and subsidies worked together, you would think it would be more plausible.Yes. Desalination tech has existed for thousands of years.

We toured a submarine(USS Cod) that is docked on Lake Erie, a few years ago. They had water tanks on it that turned the ocean water into fresh. I believe it was a WWII subYou know...

it isn't quite that simple. Removing the salt from the water doesn't make the salt go away, so you have this super salt waste sludge (called brine) left over after you're done. It also often contains other minerals and biological waste (plankton, pathogens, etc) and is somewhat hazardous. Common practice is to dump it back into the ocean / aquifer you're sourcing from, but that messes up the salinity of the native ecosystem and kills off plants and animals.Ok, I knew almost none of that.
