  1. 14:34 I remember at COP28 that one of the UAE desal plants had an exhibit, and I asked them what they do with all that brine. Apparently there's a substantial market for hypersaline seawater. For what exactly the buyers don't reveal, but the plant reps say sometimes upwards of like 80% of their wastewater gets sold and trucked away.

That proliferation concern (along with cost vs mining virgin uranium) is why the UK and US stopped reprocessing spent fuel, and why France only recycles its waste once instead of indefinitely.
