Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

One very promising innovation is hardly a blip on the radar screen. It is commonly known as desalination — the conversion of salt water into safe and reliable drinking water. It is now in use in 120 countries worldwide [which] have desalination[,] including Algeria, Chile, Spain, Egypt, the United Kingdom, Iran, Israel, South Africa, Portugal, Greece, Italy, India, China, Japan, and Australia.

I mean, if Portugal can manage it... (Of course, they do have an ocean near-by!)

As of 2014, over 120 countries have at least one desalination plant. These countries include: the United States, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Libya, Algeria, Aruba, Chile, Spain, Cyprus, Egypt, Grand Cayman, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Iran, Israel, Malta, Gibraltar, Maldives, Cape Verde, South Africa, Portugal, Greece, Italy, India, China, Japan, Australia and Trinidad and Tobago.

Seriously: Why does anyone lack potable water today?

I and all my country fellowmen stayed curious for our imaginary desalinization plant. It must work like a charm, nobody has ever heard about it before

Of course: Ostriches neither see nor hear, when their heads are stuck in the sand...

I've lived there for more than 40 years; and I was born there -- although I don't remember it.

Congratulations, you've found the only source nobody reads but tourists at holidays in Algarve.

It doesn't happen in Portugal, if Belfrager doesn't notice it;

As a fellow lapsed Catholic, you should appreciate this, Jaybro!
