Power/Desalinization Potential of Mexico's Mt. Popocatepetl/Capital & Land Use Protocol

I have wondered occasionally if Mexico will develop the geothermal energy potential of the volcanicly active Mt. Popocatepetl as part of a trans-continental Pacific to Gulf of Mexico pipeline siphon fresh water making system.

Using saltwater to make steam and generate electricity with rightly located Mt. Popocatepetl's geothermal source would provide a lot of fresh water to condense for human drinking and agricultural use. The water removed from that incoming up from the Pacific would need to have some of the its lost flow power in the downhill compensated for with electrical energy made with the heat to help pump it uphill.

The heat energy input from volcanic vents to a generator facility perhaps through liquid sodium filled sealed pipes (just guessing) could add the energy needed to steam power generators, produce condensable water vapor, collect salt and replace the lost water volume on the downhill side of the flow needed to keep the water continue to flow uphill.

The Gulf of Mexico has a lower sea level in comparison to the Pacific-maybe because of the spin direction of the world the water piles up in Acapulco and environs. Perhaps 25% of the uphill flow reaching the top might be diverted for generating energy and water...only a guess/not a physicist. Having lived in around Washington State's Columbia Basin irrigation project years ago the idea of irrigation sources for greening select deserts natural arise now and then.

The relationship of money in relation to other currencies and to capital theory and political policy formation is rather interesting in some respects.

Intelligent land use for the benefit of society-perhaps within a utilitarian paradigm-is not a pursuit of the use of money of necessity.

In Quincy Washington-a little town at the heart of the Columbia Basin, Microsoft built a computer server facility changing the nature of the agricultural production dominated Quincy Valley potentially. If some day the valley's formerly worlds most productive farmland per acre after the desert was irrigated by Grand Coulee dam powered water delivery is overrun by subdivision constructed by illegal aliens-is that a good use of farmland and the Grand Coulee dam's energy and water?

Maybe a difficult to answer question, yet relying upon the valley of the dollar to determine the most effective land use for environmental or food production vs industrial or residential use won't work. The dollar's value is a completely dumb selector of land use values.

Farm land and intact ecosystems require political determination rather than monetary policy for intelligent management. It is amazing that the idea that abstract compilation of money and its distribution would in any way serve to provide rational land use policy instead of intelligent political and social design-as if money or capital were sentient-is taken seriously.

Isn't there a fundamental relationship in capital criteria regarding empirical values of real estate that works to bury farmland under industrial, urban and residential building, streets, parking lots and permanent, lifeless structures?

New housing per square acre tends to be of far more short term value than farmland. Developers buy and build on it. The farmer takes the balloon cash payment-his income otherwise for producing crops takes years or decades to produce as much cash eqv. The farmer also has more risk.

Once the farmland or ecosystem has been buried by construction it is nearly impossible to recover for farming without the renewal force of war I think, wherein the buildings are obliterated and a general mess remains.

Buying the buildings in order to remove them for farming would be cost prohibitive unless the world is basically starving and the value of food increases more than that of buildings.

High technology is also generally of very much higher capital value than real value to life, as it is also worth more per acre of use than farm produce.

I grew up in the era before small computers or cell phones existed-it was basically a better nation then. A world without computers would not be second in quality of life comparisons, yet with the world population explosion computers help keep people alive/with that offset by the capital value criteria determination of values leading to the burial of farmland.

Computers serve to advance health technology, yet the overall high-tech world is a less healthy world for biological life forms. Humanity in failing to allocate its land use and materials technology wisely is painting itself into an evolutionarily unhealthy and maybe catastrophic corner.

When technological progress advances to make prior technologies obsolete-as computer hardware will become obsolete along with fiber optic cables, the buildings still remain over the forgotten farmland, even as industrial and obsolete technology slums.

In the future quantum computing may be accomplished within the atmosphere itself with universal access for all individuals wirelessly. What the world will be like then-overpopulated, badly utilized with pervasive rotting slums and an exterminated ecosphere is hard to say.

If one relies upon accidental development through capitalism's invisible brain as Adam Smith might have described it if he were alive today and someone else not as concerned about supporting egalitarianism versus oligarchy, the world's farmlands may decrease until the scarcity of food makes the value of food worth recovering farmland. Unfortunately with the concentration of wealth and because the wealthy will be able to afford food while everyone else is starving, farmland may not be of much value to the people enough capital to afford the housing and remove it.

Interference and diffraction of land use rational planning and ecosphere integrity may develop fragmented, inefficient islands of food production enterprise dwindling amidst an inchoate temporal egression into farmlandic oblivion.
