Thread Name: BS: Tap Water vs. Bottled Water
Subject: RE: BS: Tap Water vs. Bottled Water
JiK, If your premise were correct, I would agree with you. If you look at the publicity shots of the Clinton Foundation, he was handing out bottled water, in litre sizes. The water was transported by air to get to Haiti, not by truck. Had it been transported by ship, the cost would have been a lot lower. In fact, it was transported by ship to American Samoa after the tsunami there.

The kilowatt per gallon figure is the industry standard for water production. The reason it is phrased that way is so that people who are not on line for their electricity can estimate its cost for their system. Another example we use is that a kid on a treadmill can produce the energy for an AWG.

Q, that's Fiji water and the scandal is that the water was the same water that the people had access to but are now outbid by the bottles for.
