S7E2 - Expensive, Heavy but Desperately Needed: is Source the Future of Drinking Water?

with 🎙️ Colin Goddard - Director at Source Global  💧 Source aims to market the world's first renewable drinking water system. Clean, safe, made entirely off-grid, and available almost anywhere in the world. What we covered: 😨 How more than 2 million Americans live without basic access to safe drinking water and sanitation.  😱 How over 44 million more US-Citizen are served by water systems that recently had health-based Safe-Drinking Water Act violations.  💪 How besides trucked and bottled water, Source intends to build a third path that might be much more sustainable  ☀️ How Source actually produces water from ambient air by using the sun as the only source of energy  🪶 How the former Zero Mass Water has helped suffering communities like the Navajo Nation  💰 How much it costs to produce one liter of water using Source's Hydropanels (all inclusive), and how it compares to alternative water sources (pun non-intended)  💥 How Source may well produce water at 30 times the US utility tariff average, yet the comparison doesn't really hold water (pun intended, this time)  📈 How the Hydropanels aren't perfect yet, and Source's vision to one day produce the best and cheapest water on earth   🌱 How Source's intentions are written up to the company's bylaws, and how that leads them to be a certified B-Corp  ❤️‍🩹 How centralized water solutions and technologies have failed to serve the edges of the grid  ❌ How Source doesn’t identify as an atmospheric water generation technology and why  ⚒️ How the Hydropanels work, how they’re monitored, how much they cost, and over how long  🏄‍♀️ How Source’s technology fits two different main purposes and hence can even be a suitable solution for California  🍾 Source’s business model, their own bottled water production, how a future decentralized water ecosystem would look like, water fit for purpose… and much more! 🔥 … and of course, we concluded with the 𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 🔥           ➡️ Send your warm regards to Colin on LinkedIn  ➡️ Visit Source's Website ➡️ Check out the full story (and an infographic) on how Source's revisit of Atmospheric Water Generation could disrupt drinking water on the edges of the gridHosted on Ausha.
