Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water

    “If” seems like a weird word to use for something the size of a suitcase.

      Yeah, it doesn’t instill confidence. Like how small is their proof of concept, if they even have one? Assuming this isn’t all theoretical and nothing has been built.
