    Something stinks here and it’s not the treated sewage.

    I think the idea is that if you have an unlimited supply of treated waste water, and a limited supply of fresh water and an unlimited supply of pumps and osmotic membrane and turbines you can harvest energy from the process you already need?

    IDK… calling it a power plant seems like the stretch. But I’m not a languager.
