The Saturation Chronicles - 4

Fig. 1 Salt Battery Solar Energy Storage

I. Peak Oil Destruction

Does ocean water absorb solar photons in its water molecules (H₂O) alone, or does it also absorb photons in its salt molecules (sodium chloride, NaCL) dissolved in that salt water?

I think it is the latter, which, when that saturation point is reached it will cause peak oil destructive impact on this world's civilization.

That is when "peak oil" is also reached in the sense that peak oil (the peak damage oil does) is when peak saturation takes place as well as peak self-induced destruction due to the ocean no longer being capable of absorbing 90-93 percent of global warming induced heat increases.

II. Friendly Salt

There are more ways than one to convert solar energy into electricity (Fig. 1). 

"Salt batteries" is a concept where solar heat is stored in molten salt.

The salt melts but those batteries can hold up to 500 decrees of heat energy (photons absorbed by salt molecules).

That is what led me to wonder how do photons from the Sun get absorbed in salt water.

And to conclude that  salt waters absorb solar photons.

It is most likely that the salt in sea water absorbs photons as they flow through all depths of the oceans (The Photon Current, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 , 17, 18, 19, 20, 21).

III. Closing Comments

If you care to peruse some of the current sea and saturation levels of oceans in the deeps and along coastal areas, check out (The Saturation Chronicles, 2, 3; The US States of Sea Level Change, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
