Summary
Riggs Eckelberry discusses all the problems related to water today (e.g. freshwater shortage, soaring costs, unsafe public systems, failing infrastructure). The government has stopped investing in water infrastructure and is only maintaining the systems built many decades ago. He describes the decentralized modular water-on-demand solutions OriginClear is providing to mitigate water problems. It also allows the average person to invest in water. Water is now coming out of government monopoly and becoming a private activity. There is no worldwide water market or economy, but he is involved in the eventual tokenization of water via stablecoins.

About Riggs Eckelberry
Long a disruptive tech marketer and executive, Riggs Eckelberry became involved in the early “green” space when he co-founded the company that eventually became OriginClear, taking it public in 2008. Beginning in 2014, he and his team developed a series of transformative businesses which OriginClear manages in its role as the Clean Water Innovation Hub™.
“Big Water” is changing fast. Growing water supply problems make it clear: we can no longer rely on government and multinational corporations to take care of our water needs. So increasingly, local industry and large-scale communities are taking responsibility for the water they use. But they need compact on-site systems, water expertise, and a way to pay for all this. OriginClear’s mission is to serve this fast-growing new audience with a series of revolutionary offerings to bring about clean, abundant water everywhere.
Riggs came to the water industry from a quarter century in high technology, specializing in commercializing breakthrough technologies. During the dotcom, he worked on a series of tech successes, such as Quarterdeck’s CleanSweep, security software vendor Panda Software, and the sale of companies to EarthWeb, BeFree, and BellSouth. Just prior to founding what is now OriginClear, he helped drive security software company CyberDefender to an IPO on the NASDAQ as its President and Chief Operating Officer.
The son of an international businessman, Eckelberry learned management in the nonprofit space and as a commercial ship captain and officer. He enjoys skiing and sailing, and enabling the water industry to respond to the fast-changing conditions of our time.

| 0:00.0 | Geopolitics and Empire is joined by Riggs Eccleberry, who's a nationally renowned entrepreneur |
| 0:05.1 | dedicated to revolutionizing the water industry, which has reached a critical breaking point |
| 0:10.5 | in recent years despite being essential to the planet's survival. |
| 0:14.5 | As the founding CEO of Origin Clear, that's originclear.com. Riggs has developed innovative solutions to help businesses |
| 0:22.4 | face rising water bills by tapping into new investment. Markins, he's even pioneering the |
| 0:28.5 | development of water stable coins, a cryptocurrency backed by water assets. It's great to have you |
| 0:35.1 | on geopolitics and empire, Riggs. Hervoy's such an honor and a pleasure. Thank you. |
| 0:39.8 | Yeah, we talked not long ago on my TNT radio show, and I think this will be an even more |
| 0:45.9 | in-depth treatment about water and the work that you're doing. I think it's a big and |
| 0:52.3 | important topic. And I think I need to dedicate more time on the podcast |
| 0:56.7 | to discussing energy, resources, minerals, you know, water. And I do believe that access to clean |
| 1:02.8 | water is an increasing issue. In Mongolia, where I used to live, we'd get our water from wells. |
| 1:09.3 | We'd have to filter and boil it constantly. |
| 1:12.4 | You know, that was the way of life. |
| 1:14.4 | Just an interesting anecdote. |
| 1:15.7 | Last year, I was in my home of Croatia, and the clean water demand just keeps rising. |
| 1:21.6 | And I noticed they cut our water for a while because they had to install these massive water pumps in their |
| 1:28.6 | neighborhood that I learned later run on diesel fuel. So every day they got to be feeding |
| 1:33.9 | diesel fuel to pump the water to our homes in Croatia because it's mountainous. And then you think |
| 1:38.9 | of how much energy is required just to get that water going. And then here in Mexico, we get |
| 1:44.0 | our drinking water a lot of us, delivered. |
| 1:46.5 | So think of what happens if the system collapses or stops. |
