A Nice Discussion of the Use of Desalination Brines for the Production of Caustic Soda (NaOH).

[NNadir]

8. Thank you. I understand the difficulties people have with idealism but...

...even as an old man, I believe it has a place.

One of my political heros from the 19th century is Frederick Douglass, the escaped slave and abolitionist who held the radical idea that all men are really created equal.

Even Abraham Lincoln felt he was a bit of an idealist.

Nevertheless it is absolutely true, as true is it is that African Americans are not, and should have never been treated as, little more farm animals, that nuclear energy is the best, and frankly, the only form of sustainable energy.

I note that when slavery was abolished, the economic impact eliminated, on paper at least, much of the "wealth" of the United States, clearly not in moral terms, but at least in dollar terms.

Nevertheless, it was the only thing that was possible in order for this country to survive. The stakes in climate change are much greater than those of this country alone, or any country.

Just as Americans in 1860 needed to wake up, citizens of this entire planet need to wake up.

Thanks again for your kind words.
