I agree with all this article
I agree with all this article, however the South Pacific should look very close at their water supply. Look what Saudi Arabia and other areas did. They built desalination plants. They turned desert into cities. Cruise ships use them daily. You could pick up small units from the shipping industries and set them along your coast lines to replenish your water supply. While you are investing in solar energy you could add water to your list.
The Crown Prince is doing an outstanding job we pray daily for him.
