That you can provide drinkable water in meaningful quantities from dehumidifiers.
Dehumidifiers are one of the most energy intensive way to get water and if you live in a very humid region, well you already have water.
- Turing_Machine 3y agoHmm... Consider the Pacific Northwest. The difference between coastal Washington state and eastern Washington is tremendous. Seattle gets around 39 inches (~1 meter) of precipitation per year. Spokane gets less than half that. This is almost entirely due to a natural "dehumidifier". If the Cascades weren't there, there'd be much less disparity. And yeah, there's energy input, but it comes from the sun and no one has to pay anything for it.
- realusername 3y agoSure but the energy on the weather is in another scale compared to anything manmade.
