    You could also have a power grid and distribute the excess electricity to the next state where it’s cloudy. Or do other things with it. Or build the AI datacenters there, that Google etc are currently planning to power with small nuclear reactors… I believe desalination is a very wasteful option compared to other things.

      Transporting large quantities of electricity isn’t easy, you have to have large enough interconnects to handle the energy you’re moving around.
