What is it about artists? They see what cannot yet be seen by others. When Bob Geldof started a movement that led to the concerts called Live Aid, it brought worldwide attention to famine in Africa. 40 years later, an artist sees a way to repurpose existing technology to make desalinating seawater affordable on a large scale. The possibility of watering deserts in Africa is within reach. The necessity of growing more crops for a growing world population demands it.
This is no lark or flight of fancy.
How many world leaders and corporate titans are announcing plans to grow crops in arid regions? This tech could be used around the world in any arid region. Isn't that what an artist is supposed to do? Come up with something no one has ever seen before?
How did the artist get a spectral reflection off of his glasses?
That image was made the night before this text was written, artists do the unexpected, the previously unimaginable.
It's not magic, it's repurposing existing technology. It's realizing how to do this profitably. Who can turn "worthless" deserts into commodities? Someone with a vision, a plan to efficiently move seawater to formerly under-valued soils...without a pipeline.

The easiest way to view the book without having to open your wallet is to view a reduced-file on Google's Cloud. The images and text are not as sharp as the Apple Books version. By the way, look down at the bottom left corner. See that? Trusted Site! Translation? My money was good enough for GoDaddy.
