I once found a table that lasted the energy requirements for Los Angeles water sources. A lot of sources have minimal energy needs. But something like 10% require about 50% of the energy needed for desalinization. There is a lot of inane nimby stuff mixed in with reasonable concerns. For instance owners of hobby horse ranches in the San Gabriels suing to stop the California's high speed rail's plans to run a tunnel 1000+ feet under their property. Opposition to desalinization is like that.
