Well navy ships have evaporators. The most expensive part of that is the energy required to heat sea water 150 degrees so the salt water will flash to steam which is then condensed. Aircraft carriers have 4-100000 gpd stills. So the evaporative method is proven. Get the energy cost down and it becomes cost effective.

Yep. It’s a good thing our politicians are so committed to cheap and plentiful energy!

On a serious note, desalinization is a winner. What they have done in Israel is amazing. We need to be careful though because the climate alarmists are increasingly looking at “water” as something they need to control.
