"(if its reverse osmosis it really only needs pumps)" There is nothing "free" about running and maintaining a RO desal plant, to say nothing about maintaining any large scale solar power plant.

[00:14:14] <exec> 08└─Well, not really. Given that the water from desalinization plants will be used in cities, most of it will eventually end up back in the ocean anyway after passing through treatment plants. Honestly, the best way of dealing with a drought in a city is to reuse the water you already have. Water that g...

[00:14:34] <exec> 08└─A desalination plant near Perth, Western Australia has a solar plant next to it, which seems like the perfect match to me. If the desalination plant isnt required to operate 100% of the time, it can work when their is excess power available and store the result (clean water).

[00:14:36] <exec> 08└─On paper it seems like a reasonable idea, until you run the numbers on it. Desalination is typically done by one of two methods: evaporation or reverse osmosis. Evap is about 1.5x as energy intensive as reverse osmosis and needs sizable amounts of land, but is relatively cheap to implement. Reverse...
