Could have done the math wrong. Doesn’t really make any difference, but corrections welcome!

- JumpCrisscross 2y agoDid you take the cost per pound and assume that is the cost per well? (And where did wells come from? The number is quoted in relation to municipal wastewater treatment plants.)
- altairprime 2y agoI encourage you to do your own research and see what figures you come up with; I would love to be very wrong, but school demands most of my time, so I haven’t more to spare here. My cynical thought here is that, without any useful profit or revenue from such investment, that it doesn’t matter if it’s $288 million or $288 trillion: it won’t happen because capitalism simply doesn’t care if workers have bad water, so long as it doesn’t kill them quickly, same as the lead pipes problem has demonstrated.
