Wouldn’t a desalinization plant be quicker & cheaper?

This is cheaper and easier than desalinization? The Israelis are pumping millions of gallons through their Med plants.

Seems like a ton of work and cost compared to desalinating sea water.

This idea has been around for 20-30 years. It may not work and as another post indicated, it may be cheaper to build a desalination plant but at least someone is trying to see if it is feasible.
Just like the tanker Manhattan showed in 1969, it was not economical for tankers even with reinforced hulls and ice breaker bows to go through the Northwest Passage to get Alaskan crude oil (so the pipeline was built).

What if it crashes into an ocean liner and sinks?

I think John Wayne had a better idea. He kept some ice on his yacht, chopped off of glaciers, for his alcoholic beverages.

But if it melts sea level will rise and flood Dubai. Women, minorities, and Muslims will be hardest hit.

They had better get them an UN environmental impact license with AlBore’s seal of approval on it.
Why not just build some super tankers to haul ice.

An old idea from POPULAR MECHANICS or POPULAR SCIENCE from 40 years ago.

I hope they take pictures. This is going to be cool. Almost like a cartoon. Plus, the enviros will probably have a hissy fit. How do you tie a tow rope to an iceburg?! Such fun.
