Energy--->water
a: Desalination ~
b: a petrol-guzzling car
What: "However, seawater desalination is like a petrol-guzzling "six cylinder" family car. If desalination supplies around 300 litres per person per day, energy use would rise by 400 per cent above today's levels."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
