That's what hydrogen production from water electrolysis is for.
Ohh, you gave me an idea! Given that it also happens in CA, maybe we should use the excess for freshwater production from seawater.
That still leaves the brine problem. Youve just traded one for another.
Hydrogen wouldn't cause another problem.
Build a salt mine next to the desalinator. Tell them the brine will turn into salt faster than seawater would.
