Lots of people like the idea. Once fully running in 2015 the plant could produce 10% of theregions water. And there are plans for more desalination plants. Inland Californians,Arizonans, Nevadans and others would need to take much less water from the endangeredColorado River.
很多人赞同这种想法。到2015年,一旦Poseidon全部投入运行,其可以提供该地区用水的10%。而且有许多厂准备加入海水淡化处理队伍。加利福利亚内陆、亚利桑那州、内华达州和其它地方从日渐干涸的科罗拉多河中抽取的水将越来越少。
But a few people hate it a lot. Environmentalists are suing Poseidon every step of the way.Joe Geever of the Surfrider Foundation says desalination uses too much energy and thatPoseidons plant would kill too much marine life, including fish such as the goby and thegaribaldi, which unfortunately happens to be Californias state marine fish. He understandsthat there is a role for desalination, he says, but would rather not have it right there, rightnow, and on this scale.
但是也有一些人极不赞同。环境保护者正在起诉Poseidon海水淡化方式的每一步骤。冲浪协会的JoeGeever说:海水淡化耗费太多的能源,而且 Poseidon会伤害许多海洋动物诸如虾虎鱼、海金鱼之类的鱼类,而后者恰好是加州的海洋鱼。他说,他知道海水淡化的重要性,但是相对于其来带的利弊,他宁愿加州此刻没有这么大规模的海水淡化。
