Unfortunately Posted April 6, 2017 #27 Share Posted April 6, 2017 1 hour ago, danielost said: too much salt is harmful to life. How is that a relevant comparison. Clean drinking water is much more important to sustain life, without it most life will die; it's hardly like they'll be releasing salt into the air or anything that will actually cause harm to any form of life. In fact salt has healing properties when used in certain ways. I fail to see the disadvantage of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted about that idea years ago, right here. Plus for that to work it needs the right climate...and....its limited to a few gallons Cleaning sea water provides UNLIMITED water... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, being able to purify sea water is much more efficient as it is one of the most (if not the most) abundant, easily accessible resources on the planet.

My state goes through tons of salt for roads and the salt by product of this would be great to be a cheaper source of salt for the roads. The water produced with this would also be great for crop irrigation. I hope they use this method and it really works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterRose Posted April 14, 2017 #33 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Taxpayers spend a ton of money on desalination plants that don't produce much except brackish ick that ends up being dumped back into the ocean. And that's not without its consequences. If they can throw this much of our money at these huge plants and they're not efficient, I don't have much faith that this is going to work. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=17&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjZ0r3foqTTAhVMyoMKHVYVAoUQFgiPATAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.latimes.com%2Fbusiness%2Fhiltzik%2Fla-fi-hiltzik-20150426-column.html&usg=AFQjCNF9jKRKnOV-uOQ0X9Mb7-tWQ1uM_w&sig2=cifoOe30kp9mFv1jh5YaMQ I mean, literally, they spend billions on these plants. It is the most expensive water in the world, and there is not enough of it. Edited April 14, 2017 by ChaosRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this a new method in the OP that would be less expensive? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I read was this is the first experiment, they think there are possibilities, and they are hopeful. That's a far cry from having a solution to the problem of 14% of the world experiencing water shortages by 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
