Episode Details

Texas is racing to build the largest seawater desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere, powered by a bold public-private partnership with an Israeli giant, IDE Technologies. Spearheaded by the Nueces River Authority, the $10 billion project aims to deliver 100 million gallons of fresh water daily to thirsty industries and cities — even those hundreds of miles inland — by collecting reservation fees from 18 municipalities. Despite internal turmoil, including a former official’s resignation over alleged financial misrepresentation, leadership insists the project is on track. Critics question transparency and long-term viability, while supporters argue it’s essential for Texas’s future water security — and that Texans may soon pay a foreign company for their own water.
