China seems to be certainly in the lead when it comes to addressing climate change, and many other countries, such as India, are taking action, while America under Trumpism is emphasizing fossil fuels.
India was running out of water. The groundwater that took millennia to pool was vanishing in decades. Surface water was polluted or already spoken for. The gap between what people needed and what the sky provided was growing wider every year. So they stopped looking inland. They looked at the ocean.
India just built a solar-powered desalination network stretching across its entire coastline. It takes the seawater that surrounds the country and turns it into clean drinking water, using renewable energy as its sole power source.
But it is the scale that demands attention. This is not a single plant. It is a continuous national infrastructure project. The network now produces enough freshwater daily to supply 400 million people. That is a population larger than the entire United States. They just turned their biggest geographic boundary into an endless reservoir.
