&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Not only is there a convergence of these three basic fundamental needs, but there are trade-offs. Thirty percent of all energy in California is used move water around, with most of that water being moved for agricultural purposes. With increasing water scarcity, more and more desalination plants will be built which will deplete copious amounts of fossil fuels. 
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Solutions are needed that don’t just solve one problem while creating stresses elsewhere, rather address the challenges of all axes simultaneously.  We need to find methods that  produce both water and energy without burning fossil fuel, methods to transport water without expending fuel, and methods of growing food without requiring irrigation and energy. The head of our organization, Prof. Alexander Bolonkin, a Russian rocket scientist who later worked for NASA and who taught at prestigious institutions, came up with cleantech solutions for these problems. More importantly, the designed technologies can  implemented immediately. To see their technologies see &lt;a href="http://cleantech.homestead.com/technologies.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://cleantech.homestead.com...&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Energy-Food
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The cheapest desalination process is Reverse Osmosis. Sixty percent of the cost is for energy. We are burning copious amounts of fossil fuel to make clean water. Rather than adding greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and depleting the supply of fossil fuel we propose a number of different passive technologies. For example: We can use the pressure of the sea to force water through the Reverse Osmosis membrane. Another option is to use solar energy to evaporate sea water, the remaining mist can then be condensed by using the cool seawater running through coils. In addition we can produce both water and energy by AB MOUNTAIN or AB TOWER which extracts water from the atmosphere at heights and as the water falls it produces electricity by hydro-electric generators. To efficiently transport water with minimal energy, we designed a  Plasma Tunneler which can bore through mountains and water can be delivered by passive gravitational force. Our AERIAL PIPELINE can deliver huge amounts of water in levitated, tethered pipelines above all earthly obstacles more economically than ground bound pipelines.  In addition, water  can be transported to or from the natural gas  source.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Water-Food 
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The cost of production for clean water needed for agriculture will result in astronomical prices for food. We propose evaporating brackish or recycled water so that food can be grown in a  closed loop DOME GREENHOUSE without requiring any drip or sprinklers of clean water. Dew will do. Further, rather than wasting water to grow feed for livestock, algae can be grown in seawater in our ALGAE DOME architecture. This algae can also be processed for bio-diesel. 
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Energy-Food 
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Algae Dome provides a method of growing food in a closed loop dome where algae is grown in the walls, processed for both animal feed and bio-diesel, and thus produces both energy and food. By bubbling carbon dioxide inside the walls of the Algae Dome, the CO2 is absorbed by the algae and vegetation inside the dome, in an insect free environment.

&lt;br&gt;The audio is hard to understand, any chance you can post the actual PPT for download? If there are notes attached - 'ma tov'...
