Desalination has Massive environmental impact. It takes a lot of energy to get the salt out of the water. Since we are now running out of oil with an increasing demand on fuel only the reckless would pursue desalination. - how to make one problem into 3!

If every house in Sydney had a 1000 gallon water tank to collect water instead of allowing it to run into the sea there would be no need for water restrictions. Surely even the irony of this is obvious to the politicians - channeling fresh water into the ocean so that it can be desalinated??????
