There’s water under the vast oceans?

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

Desalination would be a solution cheaper than drilling way out to sea!

“Desalination would be a solution cheaper than drilling way out to sea!”

Correct, large-scale desalination costs NEXT TO NOTHING relative to the cost of ‘free’ water when you get it delivered to residences...maybe 10% more. So your average $50 water bill might be $55, but no more big-government crap (days you cannot water, cannot wash your car, etc.), at least with regard to water.

Of course it’s all dreaming, since we (the United States) no longer do big projects, but maybe China will...
