Tice is thick, unquestionably and his latest mumbo-jumbo has received the response it deserves.
Desalination plants require huge amounts of energy and the concentrated brine waste is an environmental hazard.
Tice might be interested to know that the middle-eastern countries do indeed have desalination plants but many are solar-powered and heavy investment in such plants is continuing.
So, open a plant in Clacton or prefarably in his constituency Boston, and cover the surrounding land in solar panels: howzat oil-boy
Here, there’s one desalination plant by the Thames which has never been run at full capacity, and one in the Isles of Scilly which was opened in 1992 and supplies 40% of their water.
With the wet, mild winters here that now seem to accompany our increasingly hot summers what we should be doing is building new reservoirs and giving grants (not loans) to farmers to build smaller versions on their land.
