why don't we simply mine out minerals from sea salt water, and we get sodium + other minerals + fresh water?

Because conventional mining is cheaper and ecotards are less problematic.
And you can't sell that much salt, it would be industrial waste

Most lithium reserves are in the Andes or Australia. You meant Rare Earths.
And yes, sea mining is a thing in development but you need bio-magnification by using transgenic bacteria so concentrate ion by a factor of 10^6 - 10^12.
Seabed mining is far more polemic cause eco-retards but far more useful and could replace most conventional mining for metals like nickel

Seabed mining is far more polemic 'cause eco-retards, but it's far more useful and the industry could replace most conventional mining for metals like nickel (a problematic metal like cobalt or tantalum)
