powering desalination with nuclear is incredibly dumb. If you have massive desalination infrastructure, it makes way more sense to power it with renewables since they are 5x cheaper, and you can use desalination as a battery (run it when the sun is out/there is wind).
- akvadrako 5y agoThis requires building more desalination plants, since they won't always be running. So it might come out more expensive than nuclear.
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agorenewables have a power factor of greater than 50%, and a nuclear plant is more expensive than a desalination plant.
