A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.

    These plans are all so dumb. Where indeed does the salt go?

    Back in the ocean, raising local salinity?

    Uh, just make a mountain of it? Somewhere, somehow?

    Poison the land. Poison the sea. Pick one.
