Reply to comment by Uptown-Dog in Ultrathin polymer-based ordered membranes that effectively remove salt from seawater and brine could provide a promising alternative to existing water desalination systems by giuliomagnifico

Salt can be used to fuel nuclear reactors and an easy material for batteries. There are other solutions people

I'm all for other solutions. But AFAICS no one doing desalination is getting down to pure salt as it's not cost effective. Rather they stop at "toxic brine". Otherwise I don't see why they couldn't just create and pack all the bricks of salt in a storage setup and work from there.

It can be subsidized if the correct supply chain is set up following it. I'm hoping salt batteries take off soon and if we have good infrastructure they can compliment each other in the bid to go green
