emission free desalinated water

In some countries, renewable energy, namely solar and wind is being considered to power energy hungry desalination plants. The lucky countries that have a good wave resource, can have freshwater without having the need to pay an energy provider. That service will be provided by the waves, the same waves can pressurise seawater in the desalination process and generate power. How good is that two for the price of one?

When oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia are looking for renewable energy solutions, you know which way it is heading.
