Even if you assume somehow all the fresh water has disappeared

there's still solar-powered electrolysis to create hydrolox from sea water.

Hasen't that been abandoned for being too expensive/resource consuming?

It's not too expensive, it's just more expensive than getting hydrogen from fossil fuels, so the only reason you'd electrolyze hydrogen from water right now is if you're trying to be green.
