The site in Fukuoka is only the second power plant of its type in the world, harnessing the power of osmosis to run a desalination plant in the city

There would be an option run desalination on solar, and osmosis generator is a base load source. So I would imagine that energy storage made out of waste product could be a potential good investment.
Right now those are pilot programmes that discover viability of those new technologies.
Even if solar/nuclear is better it’s good thing to investigate those things as in right circumstances even ski gondola can be good public transport system (La Paz)
Definitely not shitting on the tech, it’s a really cool concept and definitely useful. I just wish news outlets would have asked how the cycle is beneficial. I don’t doubt that it is, but I don’t get it.
