Poseidon Water Vice President Scott Maloni Responds to

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Executive Order
P
BUSINESS WIRE) AP
oseidon Water Vice President Scott Maloni today issued a statement in
response to Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order.
“This week, California Governor Gavin Newsom delivered an executive
order to develop a strategy for a climate-resilient water system. We couldn’t
agree more and the implementation of seawater desalination in California
is a great first step,” said Scott Maloni, vice president, Poseidon Water.
“Many of California’s existing challenges, including severely depleted
groundwater aquifers and uncertain water supplies, stem from the need for
a new, reliable and sustainable water resource. Seawater desalination is a
proven technology that is the only truly climate resilient, new supply of
water. Governor Newsom calls on the state to incorporate successful ap-
proaches from other countries, like Israel, and to invest in innovative tech-
nologies. Desalination has been adopted by over 120 countries, with places
like Israel and United Arab Emirates relying on it for the majority of their
potable water. The successful three-year operation of the Carlsbad desali-
nation plant is proof that California is ready for desalination. The Hunting-
ton Beach Desalination Project will further the technology’s place as part
of Southern California’s climate-resilient water strategy, ensuring water se-
curity for generations to come.”

THE BENZ VELOCIPEDE RULED THE AUTOMOTIVE

WORLD 125 YEARS AGO
The Velo went on to become the first mass-production automobile.
W
by Words: Ed Tahaney
ay before the Ford Model T crawled out of the primordial ooze—and way,
way before Ford's Raptor churned that ooze into paste—and even before
Benz had a Mercedes, Benz & Company introduced the world's first mass-
produced car: the Benz Motor Velocipede, which debuted 125 years ago in April
1894. By the time it was discontinued just after the dawn of the 20th century, some
1,200 Benz Velos were puttering around Germany, England, and France.
At launch, the Velocipede weighed approximately 617 pounds, was powered by a
single-cylinder engine making 1.5 horsepower, and had a top speed of 12 mph. A
two-stage belt transmission allowed it to cruise up small grades of up to 10 percent.
These days, an electric Bird scooter could easily smoke it in a race.
The four-wheeled vehicle had a lantern to light the way and featured a double-
pivot steering system developed by Karl Benz. Later, a Comfortable model was in-
troduced with a 2.75-hp engine that was made optional on the basic Velo. In 1899,
both were marketed with a 3-hp powerplant, and the car's final year in 1902 saw the
Comfortable become the only model. By then it made 4.5 horsepower and offered a
top speed of 22 mph (about even race with that Bird scooter). Additional extra-cost
features included a sun guard/umbrella, an upholstered bench seat, and a child seat
for adventurous families like the Benzes shown above.
