Yet again, nobody seems to be giving a thought what this means to organism that are living in the desert where this water is necessary for life.
You can’t really consume water especially if you take it out of the air. Worst case you temporarily barrow it till it evaporates again it’s not like the water is suddenly gonna be pumped out to the ocean or something.
Do you think they are condensing 1000L of water to then just splash it on the ground where it was farmed? That water is going to people (or more likely companies) that are going to leave the ecosystem.
Yes, they are going to fly away in a penis shaped rocket with all the water on board.
