Do you genuinely think I didn't know businesses want to save money? Why are you telling me this?
You seem to have a hard time understanding that water is used because it is cheaper than the alternatives which already exist. This new development won't replace water while the water remains cheap.
Are you talking about evaporative cooling? Because this new system still very much uses water, in a closed loop.
And I'm aware water is cheap, it falls out of the sky.
After your previous comment, i thought that about you as well.
Why do people keep acting like a company wanting to save money is a revelation? It's so blindingly obvious, there's no need to tell everyone all the time?
You're the one who asked. Don't ask questions you don't want answers to, i guess?
Their argument was that companies don't care about efficiency, they just want to save money. Without realising they're the same thing. As far as I can tell, they were arguing with themselves.
