Friesen: Hydropanels can eventually provide the lowest-cost potable water on Earth
“There's no Physical reason, this is a big statement, why these source hydropanels can't eventually be the lowest cost delivered potable water on the planet. Lower cost than what you flush toilets with at home, what you consider sort of free water, which of cou…”
Friesen: Advanced agriculture using 1/30th the water can run on atmospheric hydropanels
“There's no reason why Through advanced agriculture approaches that use something like one 20th or even one 30th amount of water that you couldn't produce water in the way that we do, and then grow fruits and vegetables and so on in advanced agriculture setting…”
Friesen: Renewable water hydropanels will follow exponential cost-reduction curves
“Where exponentiality has enabled solar to be really cheap, has enabled DNA testing, that's a minuscule fraction of what it was 20 years ago. Smartphones, et cetera. And the same thing is true when we started talking about renewable water. We started talking ab…”
Friesen: Source hydropanels generate similar water output in Dubai and Manila
“And so you'll see that, for example, in Dubai, we create a very similar amount of water as in Manila, as an example. And so, yes, there are places and times of the year where the amount of water we produce is minimized, but on sort of an average, those places …”
Friesen: Source hydropanels cost $2,000 and produce water cheaper than bottled water
“So if you buy source hydropanel online, which is the way that Americans can get our hydropanels directly, they're about 2000 dollars a piece. And so, and of course you have to ship them and install them. So when you amortize that cost out, right, that's alread…”
Friesen: Central Valley farmworker communities have pesticide-contaminated groundwater
“The farm workers that live in the Central Valley today live in communities where the groundwater has been poisoned by generations. Of pesticides and fertilizer and so on.”
Friesen: Roughly 2.4 billion people lack access to safe water at home
“We're talking about approximately a third of humanity does not have access to safe water at home, right? And so it's a, it's something like 2.4 billion people, and that's the official number.”
Friesen: Troposphere holds enough water for 100 million years of human needs
“The lower part of the atmosphere, the troposphere Has this insane amount of water vapor in it, 10 to the 16 kilograms. So that's one and then 16 zeros, kilograms of water vapor, about a hundred million years of all of humanity's water needs replaced every sing…”
Friesen: Sunlight theoretically yields two liters of water per square meter hourly
“So that means that per square meter per hour at a hundred percent efficiency, there's about two liters of thermodynamic potential to make liquid water.”
Friesen: 54,000 Navajo Nation residents have no water at home
“About 175,000 Navajo live there. 54,000, let's call it a third of them, have no water at home. Zero.”
Friesen: His home groundwater had four times the legal arsenic limit
“I happen to have four times the legal limit of arsenic in the groundwater at my house, and so and I moved into that house well before I started Source Global, so I put in this arsenic treatment system, which was quite expensive to solve that problem”
