It could be done, but i doubt it would ever be cost effective, besides we do need our oceans to create our climate out there.

Yes, it is in use. Hong Kong produces 25% of its water supply from a 'flash distillation plan't near Castle Peak and the city of Tampa is considering the same to augment its failing water supplies.

Ask Isreal. That is how they get the majority of there water.

Get a bucket, put some plastic wrap over the top after you put a cup in the middle of the bucket and fill it with seawater. Put some rocks in the middle of the plastic wrap so it is over the cup. Wait a few hours and evaporation will do the rest.
