Water is a logistical world problem not a shortage of water.

The Uk's problems are caused by profit hungry private companies and people washing cars and gardening with drinking quality water.

Yes logistical as in many world regions suffering drought and people dying. Starving people & crop failures, who cares? Just World wide greed. But the world being over populated & those dying it is hardly a concern for those with plenty.

Pipelines could be ran just the same as oil pipelines are. desalination is possible anywhere.

Countries could trade water for Solar power. But it would need Governments not Private profiteers

Well oil pipelines require gas and pumping stations to move the oil along, up hill and dales and through valleys. Water flows nicely down hill by pipeline. Also where there is flooding and then too much water. Pumping stations yet again requires energy, in some areas wind and solar provide that energy. What a pity that Countries and Nations will spend more on war than the worlds essentials for peoples daily needs. Then obviously wiping out the desalination plants and pipelines is part of what is happening in some middle east countries. (De-desalination??)

What it needs is proper statesmen in the governments; without them, governments just tend to the bidding of the wealthy private profiteers who employ the best lobby groups, fund the think tanks and bankroll government parties to ensure that they get their way.

Hmm, so are our coal / wood pellet fuelled power stations days numbered. Will anybody actually commit to a date and keep to it is the real question.

I thought it was only Drax that did this these days. Green washing power station as with "sustainable" hydrocarbon fuels.

Economics are driving the rapid move to renewables and with government investments in nuclear to provide reliable energy in case of rebewables not being available.
