Debnam considers desalination plant
Debnam considers desalination plant "The NSW opposition says it has never tried to hide the fact it might consider building a desalination plant in southern Sydney if it wins the state election."
I have a problem with this. It's not that people may or may not be drinking de-salinated water, or may or may not be drinking recycled sewage, it's more about why not.
I think we should have not one single de-salination, or recycled water plant in this state. We should have dozens, all pumping water to the inland where we can once again reap huge benefits from our farms, and our land. There are billions of people wanting food in the vast sprawls of China, Africa and India, all we need is the foresight to water Australia and get cracking on a grand master plan for our nations agricultural wealth.

New Nanomachines in Science
Tiny particles are making big news today at the University of Edinburgh, where scientists have created a motor mechanism for a nanomachine. Last year researchers at the University of Georgia
developed minuscule nanogenerators to power the nano world, but this latest unimaginably small machine — about 80,000 times thinner than the thickness of a human hair — runs on its own power.
