We would much better off with wind power coming from the ocean, feeding desalination facilities and pumping clean water inland to be used for farming and other potential economies. Solar driven transformer and pumping facilities would carry fresh water to farms and communities, while at the same time generating electricity.

75% of the earth is water. Why not just leverage that resource? In addition, by doing this, the “flooding” every left wing paid climate alarmist says will happen when the ice caps melt would already be mitigated by the technology.

Imagine, a world where everyone is afforded the opportunity to fresh water for hygiene and economic growth. And it would be so much easier than what is going on now with dictators driving economies into the dirt for their own personal gain.

You are missing the most important part of such a scheme: How much does it cost?

Wind turbines are not free. Pipelines are not free. Solar power plants are not free.

All of those costs are what prevent people from building the system you envision.

Food can be produced much, much cheaper with water from rivers than from desalination plants.

Electricity can be produced much, much cheaper from nuclear power stations than from wind and solar, and far more reliably.
