How would they get the capital together (a massive undertaking) or the equipment together (again a massive undertaking) as Walmart buys up the entire supply chain to provide the pipes and power lines?
Oh you want to hire an electrician for grid work? Walmart won't sell you or rent you the equipment. Want to hire a plumber for grid work? Walmart won't sell you the required equipment to set it up.
Not even that but what's to stop them from corporate espionage? Sabotaging their competitors. "Oh we trap rain water and truck it to people. Lately people have been getting really sick from our water but not Walmarts water."
Again, I’m just exploring alternatives to the current flawed system we have and you’re another person just losing their minds about it.
