So, it’s better to produce less agriculture and drive up prices (affecting mostly those least able to afford it) than just desalinate? My understanding is that proposed desalination plants in CA were shut down because of NIMBYism. Better for people to starve, I guess. We could have practically limitless energy with solar fields and nuclear plants, build canals, aqueducts and pipelines to transport and restore all the watersheds in the west while reducing sea levels, fix deforestation, and grow abundant food for everyone, but it just requires us to stop saying “NO” to _actual_ progress.
