This also relates to last week's OT discussion re: water supplies and real
estate (non)development.  At USD 0.32/GAL I don't think that desalination
would be a popular approach for Southern California.  Is that a price in a
gallon/liter jug perhaps?  That method of supplying water should be a lot
more expensive that installed pipes.
I'd still like to know what water would cost S. Calif. in massive volumes if
we desalinated Pacific Ocean water instead of sucking up as much as possible
from everywhere else.
