Solar- or wind-powered desalniation into a water tower, to supply a trickle irrigation system (a smart one, such as has been devel'd in Israel), could turn many of the desolate islands into olive production powerhouses, with room left over for grape vinyards.

I’m too long in the tooth to think about planting olive trees and grape vines and waiting years for a harvest. If I had heaps of money I would build me a blazing white-washed court-yard home near the water with a jetty for a sailboat...sure like the idea of a desalination plant.
Need to buy more lottery tickets.

About the donkeys...haven’t they had a rough deal historically? Hard to accept that in this century, people are still using them as beasts of burden.
