A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.

    I was thinking that Bug Tap Water was gonna come in, sabotage the thing whilst claiming it’s bad for everyone, and then bring their prices up.
