Actually I would also like to see more about this. However modern silicon manufacturing usually recycles 99% of water they use IIRC (correct me if I am wrong). Just have to supply a big tank first.

The point is usually clean water. To whatever measure for the purpose it has; but our drinking water undergoes filtration too. Do you have a source saying its a closed loop/system? Never seen it myself.

We don't lack water on this planet; we just don't like the majority of it, or its in the wrong place.

Water is going to be a thing soon, and it already is. Already there are lots of places on the planet where there just isn't enough.

Desalinisation removes salts from water it doesn’t split salt into its base components, that requires a heck of a lot more power.

Depending on the type of desalinisation you will get dry salt and scale like in a coffee maker/ teapot / your boiler or brackish water.
if those are toxic they were toxic before they were processed.

Nearly all desalination plants in the world produce a highly toxic brine that is usually disposed of in the waterway they took the water from in the first place. Already the price per litre is high and the disposing of the brine is costly other than dumping it locally. Claiming that the waste product of desalination is no more toxic than the salt water source is laughable.

I've been hearing that for 30 years.

Yeah, but your location also says "mid-Atlantic"

But it stands to reason that when population increases and the supply of fresh water supply stays constant, the supply will eventually become insufficient.

Also, haven't you been paying attention to the Mad Max documentaries?

Its been true for that long, much like climate change

We just like to ignore these issues for that long

Half a kilogram of table salt will kill a human

Too bad they have been wrong continuously.
