kiltannen

@MichaelK My bad for not editing into the question what I want. I've done that now. Hopefully this is clear enough for you, I am really likeing the ideas that are flowing here - and would hate to see my question closed again ;)

I am not asking for how to accomplish this - I have the tech concept worked out. Effectively Puppeteer Stepping disks (As stated in the question) I am specifically interested in any and all ideas about what the nature of opposition to this will be. What I want to focus on is the positive story of providing water everywhere it is needed - but I'd like some insight into what will go wrong politically. Where will the expected opposition come from? How violent will that opposition be? Will it be governments - Or environmentalists?

@JBH I have edited the main question to Narrow the focus to negative political opposition. I have also edited into the Main question a description of the Tech itself - and proposed the source of water. Hoping you will all agree it is now no longer too broad and can be re-opened.

kiltannen is not so much Finnish as it is a mis-spelling of an Irish placename... Kiltanon from County Clare.

@Slarty The water is transported by proprietary technology - with apparatus at both transmition and receiving ends. The tech is owned as a trade secret by a single company with altruistic goals of solving world problems of water & food shortage. The tech can take any source of water and both purify & transmit it in one operation. SO - yes it can have salt water as the source. Cubic kilometers per hour could conceivably be transmitted - assuming a large enough source. The energy cost is negligible - I am positing parallel tech that provides very low cost energy. That is a whole nother topic!

This is an important perspective- More importantly in my opinion, it is suggesting the best approach you can take to defuse any discomfort you might continue to feel. You have clearly posted this after having gone home withj at least 1 possibly 2 shifts break before seeing these guys again. Not saying anything at all is probably less than helpful - it would be better to address it in this light fashion as suggested.
