    I was keeping up through dongsheng news, but then I deleted Telegram, so I’m not up to date with tech. Thanks for all this, very optimism inducing.

    new desalination stuff

    That’s cool asf. Hopefully developments like these will help Mos Def’s observations cease to be true. My one concern is what happens to all the salt. I’ve heard that over-salination can be damaging to ecosystems. Might there be a coming innovation that will allow the production of table salt in addition in this efficient way or something?

    cold plasma pyrolysis of trash -> syngas

    I think I heard about something like this in like 2018 and have fantasized about it since. I think what I heard was that the Netherlands used it and it was too good or something? I’m glad there have been advancements in it.

    sodium ion batteries

    redox flow batteries

    zinc solution hydrogen batteries

    I’m happy about any tech innovation that means less rare mineral extraction is necessary.

    floating wave generators

    I’m glad there’s progress on those.
