Why? Just build mountains out of it and maybe even open a salt-ski park in the tropics for people who don't have snow.
I think I read somewhere that salt can be used as energy storage medium? So we could get both water and batteries for renewal energy.
Oh no, the hassle of managing the raw input for several key industrial processes that is created for free as a side product of MAKING WATER DRINKABLE WITH FREE ENERGY FROM THE SUN is TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM! Especially considering we could instead murder millions of fish - which we then can’t eat- in the process! This entire technology is doomed!
Come on guys please at least attempt to think what you’re about to type, please, I beg you.

In an ideal world that crystalline salt by product could be used to offset any imported or mined salt, further reducing the environmental impact of those operations.

Just make prettier-than-Himalayan salt lamps out of it and sell it to hippies. Easy solution.
yeah, if you like to kill everything in a few 100 feet radius and kill some more in the zone of reliance.
