yeah from what i understand the desalination technology is there, the problem is what to do with all the salt. you can dump it on the ocean, creating a dead sea zone. or you can dump somewhere on land, creating a dead land zone.
the only solution is the gene mod humans so we can eat larger and larger intakes of salt.
Easy, make humans larger and fill in the extra space with only more kidney! This could make kidney transplants more intricate though...guess we just send all the salt to the sun!
