> because of massive defects or barely producing due to a lack of cooling water This is false, and not the reason for the (currently) low load factor of nuclear. Most reactors are off for maintenance, like they are each year in autumn, in order to be ready for the peak demand that winter is. This year might be slightly worse, but it's not unusual at all. There is also no lack of cooling water. There is only a law that was set many years ago that can be changed without any impact on the safety of the reactors, and this law is limiting only for a few reactors a few days each year. Very anecdotal.

  Frying few fish (proof?) whose population can be replenished easily and are anyway artificially managed by humans for decades already vs disaster to whole countries during winter? Ask anybody affected, they wont care less for those fish. Its the least horrible choice out of horrible choices. Also not sure what you mean by frying, rivers get super cold during winter, increasing temperature a bit wont kill anything if I apply common logic.

    > Also not sure what you mean by frying, rivers get super cold during winter, increasing temperature a bit wont kill anything if I apply common logic. Freshwater fish and other aquatic beings are extremely sensitive to water temperature and other conditions. Just look at the Oder disaster - it was caused by pollution that, in combination with low water levels and warm water, led to an exponential bloom of toxic algae [1].

      Your linked article does not mention temperature once, except for that something similar could occur in a "hot, dry summer". The article seems to state fairly clearly that they need to do more research to determine what happened. >linked to industrial pollution is the most likely culprit >more research would be needed to determine the conditions that led to the algae's appearance. Also, parent comments are talking about rivers in winter. A small increase in temperature, starting from winter temperatures would result in water that is still much cooler than summer temperatures, which fish seem to live just fine with.

        Did you ever do any gardening or heard about any kind of development cycles? It's not because something is ok with some temperature in summer that the same temperature in winter is ok for the same being.

        Good thing they aren't warming up winter rivers to summer temperatures or causing some sort of strange deathly winter algae blooms, like the parent I replied to was talking about.

    Do you realize your argument is exactly the good old "who cares about 2 degree global warming? i'm happy i like summer" Go read up some ecosystem science will you? "Frying few fish" "replenished easily" "artificially managed" "rivers get super cold during winter" "wont kill anything if I apply common logic" all of this is nonsense.
