Remembered Malala, the girl who fought for basic human rights for little girls so they could go to school? She still exists, the media just stopped talking about her once they found out she had “extreme” beliefs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    assume a nuclear plant produces a gigawatt. assume the sun emits 1kw per meter^2 assume the sun is only active half the time

    you would need to build 2000 plots of 1kilometer^2 sun desalination to put equivalent energies to the water

    I don’t know relative efficiencies but I assume not too far apart

    Waif I think I’m doing the math wrong. Maybe you only need a 2 kilometer^2 plot…

    I guess nuclear electricity won’t be as cheap as the sun either.
