Basically you can checkmark "all of the above" - but pragmatically, it may help a lot to have a nuclear power plant to supply the kind of power capacity you need for de-salinization for a city…
Perhaps desalination plants should include a process to capture and process the Sea Salt and market it to offset other expenses.

Basically, one needs to separate the salt (and other impurities) out of the water. These things are very small and require a very fine filter (reverse osmosis membrane) to retain. As a result, very large pressures are needed to drive the water through the membrane. This generally equates to a high energy cost to power the pumps used for this process, making RO not feasible for large-scale production.
