1) My point is that the actual market cost of desalinated water includes the energy cost - and probably more expensive energy than a dedicated desal plant for hydrogen production would because both run at times and in places where energy is cheap.

2) My calculation above already took the mass fraction into account, and added a generous fudge factor in case not all of the desalinated water can electrolysed and some ends up being wasted.
