That's why "cheap enough" power.

Conceivably, using offshore wind turbines to power a desal plant could perhaps be cost-effective.

I mean, are you expecting power in the future to be a tenth as expensive as it is now? A hundredth? With “cheap enough” energy anything is possible, but I don’t see where we would get order of magnitude improvements there anytime soon.

I’m still hoping for nuclear fusion within my lifetime.
