Desalination means removing the mineral components from the sea water and transforming the sea water to usable water. The fresh water is increasingly becoming scarce, therefore more and more states are considering the option of desalination of seawater.

The major disadvantage of seawater desalination is that the process is not energy efficient. The seawater is pushed through a membrane from which only water molecules can pass, salt and minerals do not pass through it. This process is known as reverse osmosis and uses about 3 to 4 times more energy as compared to treatment of equivalent amount of groundwater, releasing a large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is:
Reverse Osmosis

Which event from the 20th century best illustrates Alexis de Tocqueville's assertion that liberty was key to the United States'
anygoal [31]

Answer:  B. The US government exempted the Amish, who do not believe in government assistance, from paying Social Security taxes.

Alexis de Tocqueville's concern for liberty had to do with personal liberties -- with freedom of conscience and belief being protected in a constitutional republic.  By respecting the rights of the Amish to exempt themselves from the Social Security system, the government of the United States is allowing them to have liberty of their beliefs.  They don't pay into the Social Security system, and also do not receive benefits from it.  They choose to care for themselves and one another in the Amish community.

Alexis de Tocqueville's famous work was published in the 1830s.  Based on his travels in the early United States, he wrote <em>Democracy in America, </em>in which he detailed how a democratic society functions.
