    Dogshit article. “China does X” without it saying who actually did it, and with no link to the work. Looked a bit more and found the actual paper about it.

    Seems pretty cool. I need to read it in more detail, but it seems like it could have nice agricultural effects in less centralized economies. Lots of smaller scale water production sources for crops. I doubt it’ll scale directly to the rate of large industrial desalination plants, but progress is good. A variety of methods can often be better, using appropriate tools to the right situation.
