Another nice feature of this process is that it consumes CO2. Either from the atmosphere or from a alternate source(manufacturing plant, etc). Also, it uses treated manure as nutrients for the algae. And the amount of energy used is 1 unit for every 8 units produced.

One question, how are they going to get Saltwater in the New Mexico Sonora desert?

What about on the coast of Baja California? Plenty of seawater and sunlight and not very population dense. What is important is the output of fresh water. In conjunction with or as a desalinization plant is a huge item. Previously arid unusable land now has manufacturing and fresh water.....
