    With enough demand, enough money for R&D will show up to improve the technology.

    But regardless the current costs, that did not stop Israel to source all their water from the sea from very early, as well as other countries have for regions where there isn’t enough drinking water available.

    In my country, it’s used to supply our islands territories and even by some hotels for pool water.

    And the problem with the brine has me scratching my head, as I’ve read sources where the process required chemical treatment of the water and others where it’s stated the process is entirely physical.

      and how much fossil fuel does Israel use to achieve this?
