Our waterways are becoming more and more polluted due to PFAS, plastics, medicines, drugs, and new chemicals made by companies that just hand over the responsibility of cleaning to plants paid for by public moneys. Detecting the different chemicals and filtering them out if getting harder and harder. Could the simple solution of heating up past a point where even PFAS/forever chemicals decomposes (400C for PFAS, 500C to be more sure about other stuff) be alright?

    You are aware of what community you’re in, right?

    And as I’ve explained again, I’m not asking if it’s feasible, nor that is be done yesterday. I’m asking about the process. You’re answering a related question, but not the one I asked.

      I am aware yes. It was not a stupid question, but the answer was No. What strayed into Stupid territory was people trying to act like the simple physics of heating up water will at some point change enough to change the answer.

        You’re angry and I don’t know why. Nobody’s arguing that heating things up costs energy 🤷
