I can't imagine it's doing this at a rate that will make a big impact on water supply, I suspect this is one of those things they throw in just to have a good headline.
Water supply where? In Saudi Arabia it could be revolutionary tech when combined with solar
Not, for example, if it's only producing 1l/day.
But you can't imagine it doing a lot more?
I don't think batteries will soak up that much salt for their use. And I'd imagine they saturate over time. It's very different than something built specifically for deslination.
Each battery won't, but a factory making lots of batteries...
Maybe. If it was a compelling case I'd think they'd show us the data.
