could

Yeeaaaaah, I'm going to press x to doubt.

Desalination takes a boat load of energy. Anyone claiming they can do it easier is likely full of shit.

but this is done with MIT! MIT, man!

Yeah, MIT also sponsored those bullshit water from air devices that anyone who understands 5th grade physics could tell you were bullshit. MIT also sponsored Hyperloop projects, and Hyperloop is just beyond stupidly dumbass not possible. MIT putting their stamp of approval means shit these days.

As this is a lot of "hope", "want", and "could", I'll go ahead and say it's yet another bullshit "give us your money" startups.
