Allowing desalination would enable Exxon expanding their shale extraction operation, an environmental disaster. I.e., desalination by itself would be fine, except CC has enough water for its own use without. I suspect the tricky swap was meant as a way for Exxon to avoid getting blocked trying to do desalination on its own.
