It is expensive as water goes, but it will cost less than 1 penny per gallon.

That's the price for bottled water in Washington DC. The Israelis pay less than a hundredth of that for their desalinated water.

I don't know what it costs in California, but in Israel desalination costs 40 cents per cubic meter, which is less than 1/6 penny per gallon. Source: http://www.haaretz.com/beta/1.570374

Israel has produced most of its water through desalination for decades.
You aren’t going to be able to assert that their water is more expensive than the surrounding Arab countries.
