Strange. Did I miss any mention of the fact that this would be salt water?

If they did I didn’t catch it. They went to great length to tell about how all inflow to the Salton Sea with no outlet created increasing salinity to the lake. And it was fresh water that created the Salton Sea. But no mention of salt water and effects on Death Valley. The whole thing sounds far fetched and a ridiculous scheme to me anyway. I’m not sure if this video was serious or just someone with a lot of time on their hands.

Who thinks of these things?
Venture capital firm Y Combinator did and put a price tag on it in excess of $50 trillion...
Y Combinator Request for Startups - Desert Flooding
NBC News - Would flooding the deserts help stop global warming?
The idea is “risky, unproven, even unlikely to work," according to Y Combinator.

I want that six minutes of my life back! Apparently, they've solved the problem of evaporation, and manage to create a perpetual motion machine that would generate more power from hydroelectric, than it would take to move said water over the Sierras and back to the Pacific.
