London has a water shortage, the reasons for which we will not go into here.

Thames Water wants to build a desalination plant. So what does our enlightened mayor say?

Thames Water is appealing against London Mayor Ken Livingstone's decision to turn down the proposal. He claimed the plant would use too much energy.
