spending $105B to build 105 desalination plants is simplistic thinking,… point being desalination plants and moving water requires lots of energy (so it might be a good idea to think about electrical generators)[/quote]
Of course, it’s simplistic thinking. But it can be done if we want to… but obviously, we don’t want to. We whine about it. As for energy, we have the desert east of us where we can spend another $100b to build solar farms, we can spend $100b to add a few more nuclear power plants, etc. We have the technology to solve the problems. Whether we really want to solve them is the real question. The Huntington beach desalination plant proposal was rejected. So, I don’t see it happening.
