Discharge doesn't get sprinkled over all the water on earth, it comes out of pipes in real places. Those real places can't handle brine because it will kill everything around. Carthage anyone?

It's obvious you don't know anything, accept it and move on.

It doesn't have to come out of pipes in one spot.

Automated solar-powered barges could distribute ideal concentrations of massive amounts of waste salts.

Waste salts could be buried inland.

They could be used as building materials or for any number of other applications.

Increasing salinity in coastal areas is already a major problem for local governments. The associated damage is not hypothetical. When these plants are built, they won't be pie-in-the-sky technology but with whatever fits a tight budget. Don't fall in love with a single technical solution.
