Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, you do have a large ocean nearby and a perfect environment for solar power and wind power, so I'm betting a few dozen desalination plants are going to wind up being the eventual solution.
Well funny you mentioned that. We, the local government, built a Modern Desail plant. Was touted as a inexpensive way to get fresh water. Well, to Desail ocean water, it takes a huge amount of power. Electricity. So "we" made a deal with Edison to power it with a dedicated power line to the San Onofre Nuclear power plant. Perfect. right? Well, after the plant was 3/4 built, San Onofre was decommissioned! Now "we" cant run the Desail plant, it cost too much!!!!!!!!!
Short sighted government at work...
