But does it scale?

I came here for that as well! Isn't this always the ultimate issue? But what if we could take all the salt out and use it to create large swaths of white to reflect back energy. With hydrogen production as well! This has to be at least a blueprint for the future of humanity.

Isn’t that technically salting the earth? Maybe in something like the Sahara but I don’t see like it’s a good idea.
