i will right here say that there is no way we within the foreseeable future use electricity to do something to the oceans where we end up going 'oh no the ocean is now too <x>' without the externalities of the energy production loving us and the oceans over in some far deeper way

every day a zillion tons of desalinated freshwater are removed from the ocean, leaving all the brackish salt and other particulates behind this is called 'evaporation' and has been going on since the earths crust solidified the water eventually trickles back into the oceans and the salinity levels stay more or less the same my understanding is that the oceans are overall getting less salty because of the injection of freshwater from melting icecaps and glaciers

Shame Boy posted:you're posts The salt hasn't been removed for a few hundred million years, so your suspicions to the claim are valid. It is also thermodynamically impossible for humans to impact the evaporation process of the ocean more than the natural evaporation process since global sunshine ingress into oceans is the biggest energy ingress of the entire planet (maybe short of geo thermal energy but I'm not sure on the energy balance of that, both is several magnitudes over the energy output of mankind)
