    A gallon is not much though, not for a family. If you have to double or triple that amount, the electricity costs will really add up. If you’re talking European electricity costs, you might as well drink expensive wine instead 😂

    If cost was more in line with traditional filters, then it may be a more accessible option. But electricity costs are only going up.

      Even with fission, nuclear is a panacea of energy with almost no waste for modern reactors. I can see there being an initial rise in energy costs to get those projects built out though. If they are phasing out nuclear, that would be dumb.

      Additionally, researchers at MIT recently found that you can evaporate water without heat, so that should hopefully be a thing in the near future.
