text: I was thinking of using Omidiyars sea water cooling project to pump in the sea water, raise its temperature by running it through the hot buildings, and use the ocean thermal energy conversion to help power the solar distillation of the water.  But we could all be dead by the time this comes to fruition.  Because of the high humidity we should be able to use affordable dehumidifiers that run on clean energy to provide home drinking water at least.
