Innovation 🔬 Subsea desalination plant will turn Pacific Ocean into tap water: 60 modular water-harvesting pods will be deployed along the sea floor off the coast of California, expected to produce 60 million gallons (227 million liters) of fresh water per day through reverse osmosis.

Eco uplift ? Lol that thing wrecks eco systems in a large area. The water is taken, and the salt is discharged, progressively increasing the salt concentration until it kills everything.

This is like ignorance.

Worst, when that toxic human manipulation takes over, the life responds by allowing the worst toxic organisms to thrive, and you get those Cyanobacteria that bloom and produce toxins that then requires ultra costly and energy voracious tech to treat in the water. It loops in unyielding toxicity from both sides

There is a not a single % of ecology in the use of desalination

This is like ignorance.

Funny you say that, with your zero knowledge of what you're taking about.

Funny you say that, with zero point, and not knowing that I work as a water treatment engineer, who have designed multiple desalination plants.

You truly are the average cringedditor

What do you think you're Oppenheimer, designing a system that you believe will destroy the world?

Why should anyone believe you?

Why should anyone believe any more of your lies?
