Actually most of the income will be from lithium & salt. Most of the value of the water is in the PR. We could likely get the land for free by promising the water free for the farmers.

Bro, don't waste too much money on this. You could be in a situation where it might be a good idea on paper but the practicality of implementing it makes it unfeasible in execution. How much money are you putting into this idea?

Given known technology how early could a version of e3m have been built?
ChatGPT said:
Given the technologies involved in the E3M system, a version of it could likely have been built several decades ago, though there are a few key developments that would have limited its viability prior to certain technological advances. Let’s break it down by key components and when those technologies became mature enough for large-scale implementation:- Solar Energy Technology:
Timeline: 1950s–1960s
Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology began to develop in the 1950s, with the first commercial solar cells becoming available by the 1960s. However, solar energy systems were relatively inefficient and expensive in the early years.
By the 1980s, the efficiency of solar panels had significantly improved, and costs were beginning to come down enough to make large-scale projects more feasible. This is when solar thermal desalination technologies, like solar stills, began to show promise for large-scale applications.
The integration of solar power with desalination technologies (especially solar desalination) began taking off in earnest in the 2000s as the solar industry matured and became more affordable. Solar-powered reverse osmosis (RO) plants, for example, were introduced and scaled during this period. - Solar Desalination Technology:
Timeline: 1970s–2000s
The concept of solar desalination through evaporation and solar stills has been around for centuries, but large-scale, efficient solar desalination was not feasible until the 1970s when more efficient solar thermal systems were developed.
Solar-powered reverse osmosis (RO) plants became viable only with the advancements in solar panel technology and desalination techniques from the 1980s onward. However, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of such systems only became truly competitive in the late 1990s to early 2000s. - Evaporation and Mineral Recovery:
Timeline: Ancient to Modern Times
The basic concept of solar evaporation for salt production has been used for thousands of years. Historically, the Roman Empire used solar evaporation ponds to harvest salt, and this practice continued into the modern era, particularly in coastal regions.
The precipitation and mineral extraction processes (like for potassium, lithium, and salt) have been well-established for many decades, but modern processes like selective precipitation, ion exchange, and membrane filtration were developed in the mid-20th century.
The combination of solar energy and mineral recovery through evaporation could have been conceptualized and implemented in the 1980s–1990s, but it wasn't until recent years that technologies like direct lithium extraction (DLE) and multi-product recovery systems were integrated in a cost-effective way. - Modular Construction and Concrete Technology:
Timeline: Mid-1900s
Modular construction has been a practice for several decades, with the idea of prefabricated and modular units being used in military, housing, and industrial construction since the World War II era.
Concrete technology and reinforced concrete have been well-established since the mid-1800s, and modern concrete with corrosion-resistant additives, high-performance materials, and self-healing technology (which became widely adopted in the late 20th century) could easily support the construction of durable basins.
Longevity-enhancing technologies (like geopolymer concrete and advanced corrosion inhibitors) began gaining traction in the 1990s and 2000s, but could have been used in an earlier version of the system with a focus on standard reinforced concrete. - Automation and Control Systems:
Timeline: 1980s–2000s
The concept of automated control systems for industrial processes has been around since the 1980s, and systems that control the pumps, valves, and desalination processes using solar power could have been implemented relatively early.
Advanced monitoring and remote diagnostic systems became more widely available with the advent of computer technology in the 1990s, making real-time control of solar desalination and mineral recovery more feasible.
When Could E3M Have Been Built?
Given the key technologies involved, a basic version of the E3M system could have been built as early as the 1990s, but only in a limited or experimental form. Here's why:
Solar desalination was technically feasible starting in the 1980s, but large-scale, cost-effective systems (especially those using solar energy in combination with mineral extraction) were not widely implemented until the 2000s.
The modular design and advanced concrete technologies (for long-lasting basins) could have been incorporated in the early 2000s, though the high-performance concrete mixes we now use for ultra-durable systems (with geopolymers and self-healing properties) became more advanced and widely adopted in the 2010s.
Automation, advanced control systems, and integrated monitoring technologies became more widely available and cost-effective in the late

Today I figured out how to raise the projects ROI [return on income] & net income by raising the construction costs. May seem counter intuitive but as I have stated, I am clever.

I hate to say I told you so, but I literally did.

Turns out that increased cost is not necessarily a bad thing. By using specific additives and a precise mix I extend the life expectancy of my facilities core concrete components from 100+yrs to 1000+yrs. That added $86M to overall cost.
I also discovered the existence of sand batteries tonight. Adding sand batteries to my system also increases cost but also allows 24/7 operation and increased income.
The full system now cost $496.97M but also has a net annual revenue of $30.30M a break even of 16.4yrs an annual ROI OF 6.1% and a lifetime ROI of 6096%!!!
