Nuclear plants + desalinization = water. Why is it so hard to understand?
They have a $100 billion dollar budget surplus, so money isn't the issue.
They are on the ocean, so salt water supply isn't the issue.
How can a province with so many resources and money be so dumb when it comes to these things?

Desalination isn’t cost effective for agriculture use relative to drilling wells. About $1 / m^3. Nuts and Beef are something like 15000 L/kg of water. So $15 / kg to use desalinated water. Chicken is better at like 4000L/kg.
“Free” water underwrites a lot of our food infrastructure.
