Bitcoin sounds like the absolute worst thing to buy with excess electrical production. But desalination sounds like an excellent thing to buy. Silly is not the word I'd use.
- antisthenes 3y agoThe best thing to buy is just battery energy storage (or molten salt or hydro-pumped). Storage prices are falling even faster than the solar PV modules themselves, and there are dozens of huge factories being built every year, in the USA as well.
- bequanna 3y agoIt seems like desalination is discussed on HN frequently but I have yet to see tech that makes any financial sense, even with somewhat cheaper power.
