What a great idea! In Detroit, the Lt. Gov. has had an idea to put the unemployed automobile manufacturer employees to work...and for something good! The point of the proposed program would be to train these people in industrial design towards use in water usage/conservation. Using detroit's infamous experience with engineering to benefit not only the state monetarily but unemployed workers is a brilliant idea. The knowledge and innovation that may come from a project like this can also grow into a much needed export worldwide. US Businesses make up for 1/3 of urban water usage and a lot of them are wasting time, money and especially energy transporting and treating used and new water.
Here is an enormous market -- estimated to generate $500 billion worldwide annually -- that cannot help but grow in importance. Now is the time to harness Detroit's design expertise to launch this great industry in the United States.
