Culling some of that humidity (especially when it keeps coming up from the Gulf of Mexico) is not going to harm our local œcology. andrea Margaux, I live in a temperate zone area with 80% humidity in the summer … my glasses and camera lens fog up when I step outside!

That water comes from somewhere... do they know what kind of effect that would have on the surrounding environment? I bet they don't. For all they know it could have negative effects on transpiration processes for hundreds or thousands of miles. This seems like a terrible idea to me.

It would also be worthwhile if golf courses could be constructed in such a fashion as to be self-sufficient regarding water usage. The same for schools, shopping malls, public parks, etc. Self-sufficient water generation would reduce the need for piping the water in from elsewhere, therefore reducing both new construction as well as maintenance costs.
