desalination is estreemly energy consumption that energy can be used to resuce CO2 (et al)

unless you have a great system to tranform salt water into fresh water you can't win on desalination plants... and hurrah someone inventet this system allredy - evaporation

Responses:

regarding your IM ... you could technically have a solar powered desalination plant for super-cheap -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 11:15 9
- sure you can, and reseach to invest in a hydrogent producing plant at the same time and..and and - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:16 8
  - I don't mean solar *electricity*. I mean solar power, in the traditional sense. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 11:18 7
    - traditionally "power" = "energy" and "electricity" = "power" - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:20 6
      - you're forgetting about condensation. Use solar heat to evaporate saltwater, then condense the evaporated water on a surface, and bam! fresh water. - Beryllium Dec 8, 11:21 5
        
        essentially, a giant still. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 11:24
        
        no that method has been done it is not really working unfornatly - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:24
        
        aka: the water cycle. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 11:23 2
        
        yessir, but hijacked in a contained environment for the benefit of mankind. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 11:24 1
        
        the enviromental containment IS the big problem in the system -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:26
