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%!!!

I may not be around to see it but if the core component of the system lasts 1000+ years then it is a good long term investment. Just because most stuff aint built to last doesnt mean it cant be. The ocean aint going anywhere.

While it is true that younger investors are usually after fast money, older investors have often already made their fortunes and are looking for investments they can pass on. This is something that can pay off steadily and for generations. That is very attractive to that segment of investors.

Then i still have the mineral production basin. Fusion can give power. It cant give potassium, strontium, lithium or salt.
And even if you eliminate the high power cost of reverse osmosis you still have the high maintenance cost.

- . Localized Hyper-Salinity Kills Marine Life
Desalination brine is typically 1.5 to 2 times saltier than seawater. When dumped back in concentrated form, it doesn’t immediately disperse. Instead, it sinks due to its higher density, forming a salty plume on the seafloor.
Impact: This plume smothers benthic (bottom-dwelling) organisms, disrupts reproduction and feeding cycles, and can lead to long-term ecological dead zones.
Example: In the Arabian Gulf, one of the most desalinated regions in the world, this brine buildup has measurably reduced biodiversity near outflows. - Thermal and Chemical Pollution
Desal plants don’t just discharge salt—they often release warm brine that contains anti-scalants, chlorine, heavy metals (from corrosion), and cleaning agents.
Impact: The combination of heat and toxins exacerbates environmental stress, especially in coral reefs, seagrass beds, and estuaries already under pressure from climate change and coastal development. - Ocean Is Not a Homogenized System
The ocean is not a giant, uniform mixing bowl. Currents, stratification, and geography affect how well substances disperse.
In enclosed or semi-enclosed basins (e.g. Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Mediterranean), mixing is limited, and the effects of brine dumping accumulate.
Even in open coastlines, multiple desal plants operating near each other can cause cumulative damage. - Sustainable Systems Seek to Eliminate Waste, Not Relocate It
Modern, sustainable desalination and mineral recovery systems (like E3M) aim to eliminate or repurpose the salt, turning it into valuable minerals or inert storage. This isn’t just for environmental reasons—it’s economically smarter and more sustainable long-term.
Conclusion
Yes, traditional desal plants have dumped brine into the ocean, but this is increasingly seen as an outdated and harmful practice. Regulatory bodies and environmental groups worldwide are now pushing for zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) and brine valorization as the standard.
So, “just dumping it back” is not a viable or responsible long-term solution.

Oh and speaking of genius i used the AI to develop a new mining system tonight.
Capital Cost $34,300
Net Annual Profit $19,100
Break-even Time 1.8 years
25-Year ROI 1292%
I think I will pursue it after I get the desal project rolling.
AI is awesome. I had never considered a career as an invetor.
