On a grander scale one could put solar plants in the sahara and use their power to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. To transport energy, that is.

- JoelBennett 10y agoIt's an interesting idea for a place like Australia - use solar power to desalinate water, and pump it inland. You could create an oasis in the middle of nowhere, sort of like Las Vegas.
- warmwaffles 10y agoYou still have to deal with the bi-product of salt and other various minerals that come out of the desalinated water.
- handojin 10y agoGenuine Aussie sea salt...
- Vendan 10y agoMost of them are of value? I mean, we buy salt, and esp. sea salt, and most of the other minerals are going to either salable, or at least disposable in some way. You'll even be getting very small amounts of stuff like gold too. (really not much at all, but hey, there's 20 million tons of gold in there)
