Reply to comment by Techutante in UIUC Researchers propose a new way to get fresh water from seawater, without the disadvantages of traditional desalination. They say that a vertical “capture surface” that is 210 m wide and 100 m tall, could extract enough vapor floating above warm oceans to supply 500,000 people with freshwater by lughnasadh

Maybe there’s a way to create batteries while also generating both power and clean water at the same time: https://energycapitalpower.com/researchers-develop-sea-salt-battery-4-times-the-capacity-of-lithium/
