I’ve never heard any desalination proponent claim that desal would “instantly” solve the water shortage.
I agree. They’re not built to fill your pool, but people will want to equate it it as such.
the water won’t be available for 10 years so it’s obviously better not to do it.....
Bob, that’s what’s called a straw man argument. Politicians and journalists have raised it to an art form.
“I’ve never heard any desalination proponent claim that desal would “instantly” solve the water shortage.”
I have not either and the BS meter went off instantly.
Israel is a desert and it uses desalination plants to provide water and it has some of the best agricultural products in the world growing there. Truly a land of milk and honey thanks to those plants.
