Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water

    I will give it few weeks and we will no longer hear about it. There are many articles like this but as always nothing is developed.

    Ah yes, and I also have a bridge here in my bag to sell you!

    It’s sad that this is yet another thing endorsed by MIT that’s yet again vaporware. MIT used to mean something, now I automatically assume it’s nonsense.
