Doesnt anyone remember/foresee deepwater horizon? Ten years later, BP oil spill continues to harm wildlife—especially dolphins https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/how-is-wildlife-doing-now--ten-years-after-the-deepwater-horizon A decade after the BP oil spill: Sick fish, Gulf pollution, and human health problems - Florida Phoenix https://floridaphoenix.com/2020/04/16/a-decade-after-the-bp-oil-spill-sick-fish-gulf-pollution-and-human-health-problems/

Instead of new dirty oil projects, why not harness the sheer volume of water falling off greenland ?

'At peak melt Saturday, meltwater runoff rates clocked in as high as 12 billion tons per day — easily ranking as one of the top 10 largest runoff events on record, said climate scientist Xavier Fettweis.' For first time on record, Greenland saw extensive melting in September - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/09/06/greenland-ice-melt-heat-wave-summer/

Sometimes I wonder if 420ppm CO2 in the atmosphere is already impacting human cognition. Oh wait. It is. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2019GH000237

Edit: Removed some duplication

What would be interesting is to use that salt to coat the inside of abandoned mines, and then we would have a great spot to store hydrogen gained via excess solar or wind power. Then when water is too scarce, burn that hydrogen for water and energy, or even fill up airships for floatation power. I have links for the above if interested.
