RE: Pepsi's chip factories run on potato water
I think you need to define what you mean by "run on potato water". In my mind this means they are converting the water to energy.
If all they're doing is extracting the water and using it to scrub the potatos and flush toilets, while commendable it's not actually running the plant.
All the water vapor previously was getting spewed into the atmosphere anyhow, it wasn't actually disappearing.
Now if they are extrcting the water breaking it down to hydrogen and oxygen and then running it through fuel cells and using the electricity to power the plant THAT would be most impressive.
So while the repurposing is a step in the right direction I fell your headline is misleading as it doesn't seem that the plant is actually "running" on extracted water. Maybe that's the next step.
