Are you saying that the water is so cheap that switching to desalination will be a non-issue OR are you saying that this will make the water a large enough port

Are you saying that the water is so cheap that switching to desalination will be a non-issue OR are you saying that this will make the water a large enough portion of the cost to make it significant?
- bsder 3y ago> Are you saying that the water is so cheap that switching to desalination will be a non-issue For human consumption: this is pretty much true. Desalinization works just fine for people. The biggest issue is where to put the extra salty waste products. When people talk about the "water crisis" in the US, for example, it's always about big agribusinesses doing farming.
- genewitch 3y agoany time there's a fish storm in the atlantic, just dump the salt in that area?
