@cazabon@mindly.social MIT came up with some new desalination technology recently that requires no energy beyond what can be gathered from the sun and produces several gallons a day from something size of a briefcase. With the right kind of funding and motivation, it could definitely be scaled up to commercial size.

@darkuncle@infosec.exchange I saw a couple of stories about desalination advances recently - one was that, and the other was different again - some kind of big net-like thing that produced impressive quantities of potable water. I do think those have great potential to transform life in places that don't have the freshwater resources some of us are used to.
