GoneFishin, I believe, was one that had brought that to the boards attention when it hit the wire. I got a chance to read it and I think it is relevant to discussion here.
It speaks volumes for the water technology industry when you have Bill Gates willing to put his name behind it and his gut (drinking water that was once waste!) Though clean in theory; is still 'dirty' in our minds. Might be something people get over rather quickly when they see the impact it can have on the costs related to wastewater remediation. (Then add in the environmental costs and social benefits of 'clean and green')
It will take a great deal of awareness and re-educating to inform and empower the world to change - the 'clean & green' technology already exists, but has yet to be implemented. I personally see that changing, especially when Tech Tycoons like Bill Gates is willing to stand behind it. Monumental steps are being made to bring the water technology industry up to speed and the EPA showcase that I attended December 2, 2014 assured me of that. Even the government has stepped in to aid in the process of getting water technology into commercial markets. They know as well as we do; our infrastructure in this country is in desperate need of an overhaul. Our water infrastructure, for the most part, is 'primitive' compared to the technology that is already available to us.
I hope to see PILUS ENERGY continue to make strides towards a commercial product that has the potential to clean wastewater while converting it into energy, gases, and/or synthetic rubbers. When this commercial product is completed, the benefits are not only financial, but environmentally sound. Not to mention the reduction of energy that was once used to move and treat the wastewater. It's a highly costly process (both $ and energy).
