If you or I tried to barge our way into a SCIF, we'd be arrested. In, like, 10 seconds.
Thank you Henry and the NYT for another great story on a fascinating topic ... written beautifully. And understandable to dullards like myself! Congrats. to the photog. as well.

Desalination of seawater is expensive, financially and environmentally. Even the Saudis, whose ample oil and wealth have made them the world leader in desalination, know it has to become more sustainable. I went there to take a look. My story: nytimes.com/2019/10/22/clima…
The World Can Make More Water From the Sea, but at What Cost? (Published 2019)

The World Can Make More Water From the Sea, but at What Cost? (Published 2019)

As more places face a scarcity of fresh water, desalination is seen as a possible answer.  But energy and financial requirements limit how widely it can be used.
