We’re not as bad as the other guys, so we’re okay how we are?

Nonsense.

There are no perfect solutions.

Of course, we’ll put the brine back into the ocean. We can run pipelines out miles to disperse the brine and dilute it. We’ll need regulation to ensure this, because no capitalist corporation will do anything that cuts into profits without regulations forcing it.

Second only to air, fresh water is what we all need. We’ll do what we must to have it. Of this I’m certain.
