Interesting exploration of the improving economics of water desalination and its implications:
https://unchartedterritories.tomaspueyo.com/p/does-desalination-promise-a-future
The author’s takeaways are:
- “Desalinated water now costs as little as $0.40 per ton […], likely to drop to $0.30 in the next decade.”
- cheaper water and transport costs of 0.05$/ton mean “that deserts couldn’t produce every agricultural product in the world. But they could produce a bunch!”
