Solar-Powered Pipe Desalinates 1.5 Billion Gallons of Drinking Water a Year for California

This is some cool creative problem solving that works without a real downside. We need more solutions that have no downside…or at least have downsides that aren’t direct steps toward disaster. Or we could keep burning fossil fuels when we know we really shouldn’t. We can build more nuclear plants in seismically hyperactive areas, and scar the land with pipelines that eventually start leaking and destroying natural fresh water aquifers. While we’re at it, let’s pump more toxic chemicals into the ground at high pressure to get those fuels out…that way we can credit our ingenuity and genius for polluting the aquifers and creating our own earthquakes and sinkholes, all in one greedy shot. Makes so much more sense than free power and clean water from the sun.

Donald Trump confirmed what he meant by “extreme vetting”: a ban on Muslim refugees

There’s nothing “polite” about banning Muslims, while ‘politely’ calling it “extreme vetting”.

Banning entry to our country based upon religion is NOT CONSTITUTIONAL, and anyone who would suggest such a thing is a traitor to the American way of life. The Statue of Liberty doesn’t say “Give me your wealthy, white, non-muslim, low risk refugees…” — no, she welcomes those who are the most desperate; “yearning to breath free”.

My America doesn’t deny freedom to people because of their religion. The First Amendment ensures EQUAL rights to ALL RELIGIONS…not just the ones our president and his right wing radical gang of thugs deem “safe”.
