Machine condenses water out of thin air

Now here's an invention this planet needs, a new $1,200 machine that uses the same amount of power as three light bulbs that condenses drinkable water out of the air, up to 12 Liters per day! And of course it's clean;

'The filtration system ensures your drinking water will be clean and free of toxins and bacteria - more pure than tap water or even spring water'

Read all about it here or check out the product here.

A few thoughts: I am excited because this could, eventually, help many people around the world. Let's imagine this thing will be ten times cheaper ten years from now, because, as much as I'd love to own a machine like this, come on... $1200 is too much and last but not least, people in the Western Hemisphere easily use 300-500 Liters of water a day and that is, OBVIOUSLY, way too much. So as good as this machine is, consciousness is better. So next time after you've leaked no more than half a cup of pee into the toilet, ask yourself: does this justify flushing 20 liters of water through the toilet? NO! Next time you do the dishes, plug the sink! And next time you...

...oh darn, am I going crazy again? I can't help it though. I am the grandson of a preacherman...
