    How nice for all life as we don't know it.  What can possibly survive salt life?  Crystal fairies?

    If we could fly we wouldn’t need cars. 

    Given the situation today, we’d be so busy pulling plastics out of the desalinator, a billion gallons might be an impossible goal.

    What most people consider 'salt' is sodium chloride. The chemical definition is any compound that can be formed by the reaction of an acid and a base. Sodium chloride just happens to be the most prevalent in our seawater.

    Can its properties be changed by adding other chemicals though....meaning salt becomes another chemical permsnently...
