Yeah this is one of my concerns, too: what impact on on the oceans will this have? Maybe the salt can be used in electric car batteries somehow? What impact if any would desalination have on oncean water levels? If the process makes for water cheaper than at the tap what’s to stop industrial users?

The water ends up in the ocean again one way or another.
