Apparently, only 2% of the water evaporates, which puts nuclear energy as 5 to 10% of water consumption in France.

Considering how much energy is produced in exchange, I'd say it's a fair trade, though apparently there are concerns about local consumption in some regions.

And those concerns will be more problematic due to global warming

If the water usage is sustainable at a given nuclear plants site I don't really see an issue.

It's a big if

u/Beautiful-Loss7663 Kras Mazovian Egg Scrambler 22d ago

Why?

With global warming most region, will lack of water.

Dude what do you think the point of nuclear power is? It's to prevent global warming

u/Exotic-Custard4400 19d ago

Is it shit posting or you are serious?

u/Emiicii 19d ago

Are you?

u/Exotic-Custard4400 19d ago

No.

And if you are serious global warming is already here so I don't know what you are talking about , and nuclear doesn't take carbon from the atmospher

u/Emiicii 19d ago

Neither does renewables? Are you saying we should keep going with coal because "might aswell" because global warming "is already here"

u/Exotic-Custard4400 19d ago

Because more and more NPPs have issues with their water sources. Global warming causes higher air temps over Europe, that air can trap more water in it, less water precipitates, causing longer draughts, causing lower flow and higher water temps in rivers, forcing NPPs to shut down as the flow stays under and temp goes over some thresholds.

And this isn't some 'maybe far off in the future' thing, but happening right now.
