Desalination Is the Costly Future of Clean Water

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how the global water crisis is accelerating the push for desalination technologies. With regions like Saudi Arabia and parts of the U.S. West Coast struggling to secure clean water, the desalination industry is projected to surpass $20 billion by 2027. McIntyre underscores that while this method works, it’s costly and energy-intensive, making it a last resort in a climate-stressed world.
