Well keep in mind:

  1) cheaper energy means you can mix more water in to get whatever salt level you want.

  2) you can mix in the output of your sewage plants

  3) most water is borrowed and returned, not a huge net loss.  Every toilet full returns to the ocean, every washing machine run, etc.
Solar powered desalination doesn't make the list for things to worry about over the next 100 years.
