Are you referring to the one that was in Long Beach?
Just like they call CO2, the natural product of plant, animal and human respiration a pollutant. MORONS!
They think the discharge back into the ocean will raise the salinity of the ocean in the area (which I guess it will) and kill off the microorganisms at the bottom of the local food chain. But I’m sure there’s ways to regulate the discharge to keep the salinity within a tolerable level in the immediate area of the plant.
But, hey, for environazis, plankton > people every time.

So, don’t pump the brine back. Dry the discharge completely, harvest and market the sea salt.
Let them drink sand.
But the by products they are concerned with, are the salt and brine and other substances which were in the sea water in the first place.

Isn’t there a market for sea salt? I see it in grocery stores, plus millions of tons of salt used on our country’s roads. Salt used on roads doesn’t have to be particularly clean either.
Yep. Heck, I have to ask though, what if they dumped it on dry land. What would that “dump” look like, and would there be anything salvageable in it?
The article I posted discusses the fact that there is a LOT of stuff besides water in sea water. I can’t imagine that a lot (if not all) of it might be salvageable, and even profitable to do so.
They don’t deserve any water because they chose to be ruled by retards 🤪
Let them wither
“Not even a hint of scoping out what the Israelis do with their desalinization plants.”
Yep.... they got it down pat.
That makes sense. Hence, it will never fly out here.
I guess no one told them the added salt counter acts the polar ice melt lowering the salination. /sarc
Refused an opportunity to help themselves. I don’t get it.
“ I heard part of the justification, is that desalination returns the by products back to the ocean, and pollutes the ocean.”
Just like evaporation which is how we get rain.
A simple dilution process would negate this entire issue.
STUPID IDIOTS.
These idiots should be the first to have their water ration cut off.
Israel has done amazing things with desalinization. They have a water surplus now and have turned a desert green. The biggest problem seems to be pumping it uphill from the coast. After that it is all downhill.
Doesn't sunlight naturally evaporate water from ocean, the evaporated water forming clouds which then rain over land? Practically no difference between natural water cycles and desalination?
Corrections, insights welcome.
Inside the world’s biggest water desalination plants in Saudi Arabia
Desalination is expensive and energy-intensive, but in hot, water -scarce climates like Saudi Arabia - with a population of 34 million - and neighboring Gulf countries, it is relied upon. Last week SWCC said it had completed construction of seven new desalination plants, taking its total number of installations to 33.

drawing in large amounts of ocean water
= = =
Well, “Evaporation” draws in large amounts of ocean water, and it leaves the salt behind.
Stop Evaporation Now!
And wouldn’t raising global temps make evaporation greater?
