We absolutely need to massively scale solar powered desalination plants in hot places. I realize there are issues around releasing high salt content water back into the ocean but there has to be ways to do that effectively. For instance, heavily dilute the high salt outflow with a lot of ocean water before releasing it back into the ocean.


There are much easier ways to sustain an ecosystem in the desert without bringing in technology like that.


If your goal is to have a basic ecosystem. If you want a thriving metropolis, something a lot of the Middle East is aiming for, it’s a no brainer.
