Yeah, filling swimming pools in Phoenix is not the business that RAKR is in. Your statistic is interesting but ,sadly, irrelevant. RAKR is not targeting the USA but communities 300 to 300,000 in the 50% of the world population that has no access to safe drinking water. The USA is not the target.
The average cost of bottled drinking water is $7.50 a gallon (taking into account that most bottled water comes in 500mL size), which is perhaps a far better metric of comparison than filling swimming pools in the USA where we have an abundance of water relative to the underdeveloped world. Do poorer underdeveloped nations fork over money for bottled water? You bet they do. And anyone who has traveled to places like Indonesia or Cambodia can attest that there is a booming market for bottled water both by tourists and locals. Its expensive but it's way better than you and your kids getting amoebic dysentery.
At that rate, at roughly 5 liters in a gallon and at $7.50 per gallon, clean bottled drinking water can be sold for about $1.50 per liter. The Rainmaker WW-W100 Wind Powered generator can produce 150,000 liters a day. At that rate it generates $225,000 in a day. So a $500, 000 generator install is profitable in less than a week on green renewable energy. Add cheap labor and cheap plastic bottles and some marketing and call it a month tops, even if you halve the cost of bottled drinking water in a poorer country. Thats a far cry from an extremely pessimistic 50,000 days till profitability. LMAO.
But is Rainmaker targetting the bottled drinking water market in underdeveloped nations? You betcha: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sri-lanka-start-bottles-drinking-143023733.html
In fact, I have yet to see RAKR release a PR that they are targetting the clean swimming pool water market in, say, India. But if you catch wind (no pun intended) that that is in the works please let me know.
As far as the permit thing goes, well, once again you seem to be forcing a USA business lense over a very diverse global market. Noone suggested that there would be no need for permits, only that in parts of the world where they are living under a clean water emergency, there would be a streamlining of the process. This is not like trying to put a mobile phone tower on prime property in Malibu.
