The electricity to energize this process will be generated by (wait for it)...

Fossil Fuels!

” Where does the electricity come from? “

Good intentions and gullibility.

And the problem of storing the world’s smallest atom without leakage is managed by good old magic.

And love. Lots of love.

But mostly Moral Superiority.

Title should be

“”Scientists” need more government money.”

The electricity will appear from the wall. Just like it will for all our forced electric cars.

A nuclear or fossil-fuel power plant, but you were not supposed to notice.

You also are not supposed to question how converting, transmitting, converting again, storing, then re-converting an energy source again can ever be more efficient and have less environmental impact than just using the original energy source directly.

That said, I’m pleased that they are researching new ideas; maybe they will find some shortcuts.

How much electricity is required?

Cost / lifespan of these membranes?

Where is all the salt going?

Articles like this rarely mention the practicality of upscaling from the lab to common real world use.

Where does the electricity come from?

And, how much more costly will the end product be than gasoline or even battery power?

Almost everyone knows electricity comes from that little face plate on your walls.

Oh, so true. Never ask that question of an ideologue. It sends them into counseling every time. None of them wants to admit the existence of the Carnot cycle, which says a large amount of waste energy have already been expended before any electricity is produced.

Free energy machines. They really work but Big Oil has suppressed them.
