In writing of revolution, Victor Hugo noted, "Nothing else in the world…is so powerful as an idea whose time has come." It's 2021 and the time has come for powerful ideas.I am fortunate to work with a powerful, timely idea:Improving the functioning of wastewater systems in the West is powerful because it affects the health and bank accounts of every person fortunate enough to be connected to a sewer system. It's time has come because:• After decades, we finally have technology to make things way better• Our infrastructure is aging• Western cities are growing rapidlyTo talk with me about powerful ideas in wastewater, email kwin.peterson@rhborden.com.To talk with me about powerful ideas in healthcare, email kpeterson@epicsurgicalutah.com.
