Actually solar powered desalination makes a lot more sence - solar is much cheaper and you don't need 24/7 properties of nuclear. so you are overpaying for no reason.

We cam store huge quantities of water, sometimes a year's worth. So intermittency is not a prohlem.

The idea of floating nuclear reactors used for whatever was floating around for a while, but won't happen with government support. It is really just another approach to modular reactors, not a terrible one, but free market wont do it.

What would make more sence, is making all our large cargo ships nuclear powered, and reducing emissions that way
