    I swear I remember reading about how China did exactly this but like extremely cheaply and easy to access and there wasn't a blip on any news networks

      Imagine just how much farther we could be as a species if CHUDs could just learn to swallow their pride every now and then.

      Lead scientist Dr Mohseni and his team at UBC have developed a unique silica-based material with a high capacity to absorb a range of PFAS from drinking water. The reusable material acts like a filter, trapping most of the harmful particles, which are then destroyed using unique electrochemical and photochemical processes developed by the researchers.

      It's a process that can be patented so it's good for capitalism

        I'm going to guess that the process is also highly energy intensive.

    good news, all we need now is a company willing to spend money on an unprofitable process!

      In other words, no they haven’t.

      Sure they have. The process just costs money. Its the South Park Cure for AIDS, $80k injected directly into the blood stream.

      I’ll be $5 that none of this is ultimately important because nothing will fundamentally change.

      You'll get a flyer in the mail for $5/btl Plastic Free Water, delivered directly to your door on demand by some poor bastard making $2.50/hr + tips.
