Ignoring the short term downturn or total collapse of our provincial economy, the benefit to our species/planet on a whole with unlimited clean energy is just to amazing not to fantasize about it.
I hadn't even thought about the desalinization aspect of it, and I'm sure there are other applications that have the potential to improve the entire planets quality of life. Hell it could change the entire mindset of our species... I'm not so pie in the sky delusional to think that we'd all join hands and sing Kumbayah around the fire, but with limitless energy it'd give us one less thing to kill each other over.
This is all based on if this technology was introduced properly.
