       Write this law, no AI no crypto un;less you build new renewables to power the electricity demand.Not a credit, not an agreement with a forest, not some weird contract where penguins dont die in exchange for footprint shoes, just build it.New project, gigawatts, terawatts.Build it.Building New Energy is THE ONLY measure in fighting climate.The ONLY measure. Build it all, now.#climate

       @kevinrns Agree but that still misses the water usage. You can build a solar farm on a dessert but it won't give you water.

       @alison MIT has designed a passive desalination device that produces fresh water from brine with no plug, costs of resulting fresh water is no more than tap water. They say the design scales well. So maybe we can build a lot of these.https://news.mit.edu/2023/desalination-system-could-produce-freshwater-cheaper-0927

       @alison They scaled this system in a test bed inside a shipping container, and it produced enough water for 2000 people, daily.Without power. Without even batteries.https://mstdn.social/@kevinrns/113341185649409458#Climate
