>This will destroy the near shore ecosystem, because desalination dumps brine that kills everything,

WRONG WRONG!!!

No, we used the brines to create even more batries which store our solar charge Now we have POWER at day and at NIGHT. 24/7. 247 we are producing the brines, but then that goes onto make more batries. Ain't no ecosystem destroyed here (though I'm sure people will try to perform a regression of muh bad event unto muh new technology because that is a timelessly vogue thing to do)




How in sweet salty fuck is brine being used as a battery?


Like this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-salt_battery

Btw touristic heaters are based on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_acetate and that's also energy storage
