Whales are very large organisms that live in salt water. However, they need water. They employ some mechanism like active transport to get rid of all the salt ions, which is much more efficient than anything we have made for the same purpose.
Construct the Matrix, but for whales. Have them all desalinating
water in a protected little bay, while we let them imagine themselves swimming out in the ocean, and provide them with food and air. Just ensure that they don't wake up and sink all of our ships...

They need to EAT! You will wear yourself out, trawling the sea for whatever it is stuff that they feed on. |

Would be much easier to use all that energy in a conventional desalinating plant. |

Any figures on the efficiency, [spew]? |
