I'm sure someone will come in and tell me why this is a dumb idea, which is why I'm asking...

But why wouldn't nuclear power plants and desalination plants render water issues a thing of the past?

Is it no other reason than the hurdles of nuclear boogeymen?

    The cost of energy inputs for desalinization and mitigating the environmental impacts of saline outflows make it impractical for many users of water (many irrigation, agriculture, and industrial users.) The Sun still operates the best desalinization plant on a global scale.
