Reply to comment by Jaded_Prompt_15 in UIUC Researchers propose a new way to get fresh water from seawater, without the disadvantages of traditional desalination. They say that a vertical “capture surface” that is 210 m wide and 100 m tall, could extract enough vapor floating above warm oceans to supply 500,000 people with freshwater by lughnasadh

That’s like saying that the sunlight goes to plants so we can’t use solar panels to capture it. There is just so much of it that the small amount we are using is negligible.
