Why isn't more money spent on desalination tech?  bill w

 

 

That technology is mature: we know how to do it.  The problem is that it takes a lotta land space and capital if you go the solar route, or a lot of energy if you go with reverse osmosis.  If we can somehow harvest ice, we use otherwise wasted solar energy that evaporated water out of the sea.
