The waste heat from producing nuclear turbine steam generatoin can be used for the desalination of seawater too. Building colocated facilities - nuke power/fresh-water manufacturing - could produce billions of tons of fresh water that can be piped inland with cheap power.

That’s what’s even worse about all of this, and the attractiveness of nuclear power.

Thanks for the reminder!
Sometimes I get so focused on high-speed rail, light rail and maglev, that I forget that I also advocate Nuclear Desalination as well.
(((sigh))) so many issues... so little time...
sometimes I wonder if I'll ever live long enough to see even a little of my dream come to pass.
