Yep. According to Blue Gold, desalination is a fools dream. Bottom
line, too many ppl drinking too little H2O. They're building a new
de-sal plant down in SoCal. I think a new coal power plant feeds
it. Good thinking. Make it, then pollute it. Brilliant!

It'll all be OK after the sixth extinction event, the one where ma'
earth gets fed up and stomps us pesky humanoids into nothing but a
memory and a few fossils. Wait a couple million yrs and the ol' orb
will be good as new.
