As others have noted, desalination cause enormous amounts of waste. So then, the next environmental topic needs to be addressed.
I believe there are other, better ways to handle limited water supplies like finding inefficacies in the system and plugging those holes. Changing from mass monocultures to perma-cultures.
Unfortunately, they are much more boring than desalination plants.
There are great videos on this on YT, like [1]. Go and check them out.

- nikanj 4y agoClimate change is causing droughts, so we'll burn coal to run a desalination plant, so that we keep growing alfalfa for the meat industry. Which will obviously accelerate the climate change, but that's the next generations problem. We just need to get through this election cycle without forcing any unpleasant lifestyle changes.
