Few notes:
- reverse osmosis does not give good water, it's way less salty, but not much good to drink;
- thermal desalinization gives PURE water, so we need to mineralize it before drinking, and that's demand typically clean sand, witch demand water to be cleaned... Something actually very energivore.
Long story: we can get not-to-drink except on occasional basis "cheap water" or very expensive good one.
Aside there are some notes on how much time it take to get a certain amount of drinkable water, because well, for a small boat it's a thing, for agriculture it's definitively another. Another point: as an EV owner with domestic p.v. so with anything monitored, I definitely do not consume more to makes hot water than to power my car, I can't imaging how that's so much different in the USA. Ok, I have no pool, which is ENORMOUSLY energivore, but how many household respect of the total population have a pool at home?
It also sound a bit strange to me that hot water consumption is greater than home heating, ok, USA have little population in Alaska compared to the south and they are pretty at south European latitudes and below, but... I doubt so many homes are new well insulated ones... Even more strange that cooling consume more than heating. For Texas I've no doubt, but for the average USA?
