Me TOO...REALLY
This could be a GAME CHANGER. It very probably will mean a bunchaton LESS dirt mining. Why dig in the dirt, mess up the landscape..when almost everything you want is dissolved in SEAWATER
- Seawater is a complex cocktail of useful minerals, but it's hard to separate out the specific ones we need. Now, a team of scientists from Australia and the US has developed a new water desalination technique that can not only make seawater fresh enough to drink, but recover lithium ions for use in batteries.

Good enough for me.
DIY tutorial anywhere?
I suspect it might be just a tiny bit beyond DIY.
This is really interesting!! Not sure if you have seen this before but this guy wanted to build something to extract gold from seawater. http://marksullivanresearch.com/
there's a lot of 'good stuff' dissolved in sea water.
This is awesome stuff. May sound just an innovation in developed countries but for developing countries like India, its a life saver. We literally have people die of scarcity of water in extreme summers. Remote villages are still awaiting a consistent drinkable water supply.
Hope no one dies of thirst. That's the least we can expect.
oww, finding the minerals from the water is really hard work, scientists may be successful
