Given sufficient power and seawater, we have unlimited drinking water. Reactors provide sufficient power.
So I don't think "running out of water" is a valid concern here. (Though some plants have had issues from lack of water flow in rivers, that's more a temperature issue than a lack of water one)
- strainer 7y agoMore magic unlimited thinking I'm afraid. There are costs to desalinating seawater, cost of the plant, cost of locating plants to suitable coastlines, cost of disposal of concentrated brine, cost of introducing gigawatts of heat into water courses and local region - in an already heat stressed climate. Its big resource intensive thermoelectric generation, with or without unlimited fuel source.
