you're desalinating water to have an abundant source of fresh water. why in the world does taking fresh water and adding salt being mined from the ground together to make salt water to then desalinate make any sort of sense?


We already have abundant fresh water. We use it to transport sewage, fertilizers and other crap to the ocean. It would be silly to try to clean it afterwards - but here we are?

Adding salt is a great idea, it pushes our collective stupidity to a noteworthy level of nonsensicalness.

It makes me wonder what other hard to remove poisons we could add to challenge ourselves. Perhaps design a new disease?


>We already have abundant fresh water.

Clearly, you're not having a rational conversation with comments like this. If there was an abundance of fresh water, the western half of the US would not have been in severe drought conditions for the past however many years. This is where I leave you as you are just making things up like and not even having a good faith conversation


I'm just watering the lawn.
