Idk about you but in a world where collapse is a distinct possibility, I'd rather not have a bunch of nuclear facilities just hanging around.
You should inform yourself better. Nuclear power plants are not like on the Simpsons.
I know nuclear power plants need vast amounts of water pumped around them to keep them cool. If the worst of the climate models come true (which is likely as it stands) and we have mass civil unrest, there's no guarantee water and power will flow to them.
It's an unnecessary risk, we have other options.
You think the seas are just going to dry up? You're more dense than the uranium powering these plants.
Lol "water exists so how can a nuclear power plant possibly not get it". Who's the dense one here.
Keep being a science illiterate retard lmao
