I’ve been waiting for this announcement for bloody years! Solar desalination was always going to be increasingly important, but whilst existing methods produce harmful brine this method gives useful materials like LITHIUM and other salts. Do this. A lot. Now. www.rochester.edu/newscenter/w...

This sounds like kind of a big deal.??

Yeah it’s fucking huge. I wanted to somehow get into this if I wasn’t rewilding but it’s a lot easier to buy some land than it is to do a big science.

I think it's fair to say that you're doing your bit!

Yes yes it’s early days but people used to say solar desalination wasn’t possible, and now it’s out there working fine all over the world. Then they said they’d never be able to deal with the brine and oh look there getting there. Keep doing the impossible. We’re gonna need it.
