Huh; so desalinated water costs between $0.001 to $0.008 depending on the cost of the power.

I pay about $0.0136 / gallon so almost 10x the cost of producing.

Seems like (for non-agricultural use) we will be able to afford desalination -- I guess the real issue will be agricultural uses which are predicated on free water.
