About this listen
Brune interviews Port of Corpus Christi Authority's Kent Britton. The discussion revolves around the largest planned seawater desalination plant in the U.S. They also talk about the amounts of oil and natural gas that are shipped out of Corpus Christi daily. One ship going to the Netherlands can power 1million homes in Europe for one month. Approximately one such ship leaves Corpus every day. The conversation also leans towards the future of desalination in South Texas. While frack water and desal discharge has historically been discarded down reinjection wells, there is the strong likelihood that it will soon be treated and re-used as freshwater - and that this is congruent with the way major municipality's water is treated and recycled in the practice commonly known as "toilet to tap".
