But I was especially interested in the desalination system by Saltworks- perhaps being in a two-year drought here in Central Texas is part of it;-) But after energy, I think parts of the world are going to have some large issues with water in the not-too-distant future, and desalination may be a big part of the solution. Oddly, when I saw that Ausra, the developer of Thermal Solar Power using its fresnel lenses was also adapting its technology to produce Industrial steam, I wondered at the time if it could be used as a means for lower cost desalination.
