willie-plays-guitarReports from Austin this week are that the environmentally friendly activists and Country Music man Willie NelsonĀ are making water from air.Well, sort of.Nelson has a machine installed on his properties that actually makes water from air. The air-to-water machine was introduced to him through his friend Ed Russell, who is partnering with Nelson to market and sell the machines.The machine collects water from the air like a dehumidifier, filters it and treats it with ultraviolet light to rid the water of molds and bacteria. The home-sized machine stores the water in a reservoir and can produce up to 8 gallons in some areas."This is going to ruin my image," Nelson told the Statesman.com after downing a cup of chilled waterat at his ranch in Spicewood. "They'll never believe 'Whiskey River' again."
