One out of three people don’t have access to safe drinking water. Can sea water, that’s filled with salt and undrinkable, desalination save the world?
“Most of the freshwater is locked away in glaciers or deep underground. Less than one percent of it is available to us. So why can’t we just take all that seawater, filter out the salt, and have a nearly unlimited supply of clean, drinkable water?”

The issue used to be the cost of desalination was prohibitive to all but the richest countries that could pay for the massive amounts of energy required. That was until some clown in Oklahoma figured out how make waves power the desalination turning the ocean into an engine. Pure genius!
