    Mate, I can literally walk across the Rhine where I live. Nuclear doesn’t work without cooling.

    Nuclear sucks and the fossil fuel industry wants you to think it doesn’t.

      Ok, good to know. Now please relate your statement to TFA.

      Also, it’s possible to have nuclear running with very little hot water discharge, you just need to build more cooling towers. Where running water exists, it isn’t seen as necessary.

      Did you just strawman a fact with an anecdote and then completely get your second statement backwards?

      Nuclear plants have to scale down their water output for ecological regulation reasons. Which means they have to restrict their inflow, which means they have to restrict their output capacity.

      Oil industry wants you to think that nuclear there doesn’t work, not that it does. Oil and coal have been working against nuclear for an entire generation or more.
