"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Some four miles off the Southern California coast, a company is betting it can solve one of desalination's biggest problems by moving the technology deep below the ocean's surface. OceanWell's planned Water Farm 1 would use natural ocean pressure to power reverse osmosis a process that forces seawater through membranes to filter out salt and impurities and produce up to 60 million gallons (nearly 225 million liters) of freshwater daily."
The Independent requests donations to fund on-the-ground journalism across the political spectrum and to keep reporting free of paywalls, arguing quality journalism should be paid for by those who can afford it. OceanWell proposes Water Farm 1 about four miles off the Southern California coast and roughly 1,300 feet deep to use natural ocean pressure to drive reverse osmosis. The company projects up to 60 million gallons of freshwater daily and roughly 40% lower energy use compared with conventional plants. The deep-sea approach aims to reduce concentrated brine discharge impacts and prevent intake systems from killing fish larvae, plankton and other organisms. Desalination plants worldwide produce between 500 and 850 million tons of carbon emissions annually, approaching the roughly 880 million tons emitted by the entire global aviation industry.
