MIT’s New Desalination System Produces Freshwater That Is “Cheaper Than Tap Water”

[Snarl]

Now let man put his greedy hands on the greatest water supply we have on Earth, and true disaster is due to follow.

When they desalinate this water, where does all the salt go?

I thought about that. Then I asked myself, "Where will all this newly desalinated fresh water wind up going?"

Knowing that the quantity of water (salty or otherwise) on this planet has not changed substantively over the last 4.5 billion years, I suspect it's going to work it's way back into an ocean sooner or later. I also thought about all those underground salt deposits and wondered just how salty the water on this planet 'could' have been in the ancient past.
