Desalination produces a massive pull on using more fossil fuels. It’s an emergency procedure. Not an end goal. Read a book.

Well, put me in a red dress and pony tails and call me Shirley..

Haven't we discovered other ways to harvest energy besides fossil fuels? Perhaps wind a solar might be an answer to that problem?

My own country is in the process of converting a former refinery into a green hydrogen plant and part of the conversion goes into installing a few gigawatts of power in solar and wind.

Couldn't this same solution be used for desalination?
