4% per year might be a better metric for OFWAT's expected increase between 2025 and 2030.

Thank you! I hope the undecided can choose to see a way in which the USA can become a happier and more balanced society. Instead of just having these weirdos on the menu.

I humbly ask, what is, or what does it mean 'Trump's MSG rally'?

Thank you! And corrected.

You're very right about prions. But there's more passing through reverse osmosis membranes than meets the eye.

Size cut-off is not the sole trans-membrane transport process. The material of some membranes allow the diffusion of some molecules - roughly, hydrophobic membrane materials allow diffusion of hydrophobic molecules.. its more specific than this, though.

There are targeted studies to assess the removal of micropullutants that show that some micropollutants can pass membranes even though their size is bigger than what would reasonably be expected to be retained.

I don't know anybody studying this with broad spectrum techniques that uncover unknown-unknowns.

I agree, the key is disclosure and transparency. Mandatory, if necessary.

IR's México, warm and dry, it is a pretty safe bet that they'll have evaporative cooling.

The alternative, without evaporative cooling, implies the release of pretty warm water. Which, if you go see has some damnning environmental impacts and can even be the limiting factor in say nuclear plants sizing.

Moreover, you talk as if the withrawal of information by these datacenter companies should be used as justification for "we don't have the whole information why are you assuming the worst". Thats a very flawed logic on itself but ..well, look into some environmental history books and tell me what you see when companies use that argument as justification not to look closer.
