I imagine this would be a great use case for solar - desalination plants are mostly needed in hot desert places where the sun is strong. I imagine you could use energy at off peak times, since clean water can easily be stored.
- dimal 2y agoExactly. This what Israel has been doing, as I understand it. We don’t need to use desalination for everything, but for places like California which have water shortages, it could certainly help.
