> the summer droughts caused nuclear reactors to stop due to the lack of water From what I read, it wasn't "lack of water" but rather the rivers were so warm that the reactors dumping more warm water in the rivers would be a danger to the wildlife ecosystem of the river. If it was an emergency we could probably say "let the fish die, we need power". Reactors that had evaporation towers instead of dumping hot water in the river could keep running. If we want to prepare for inevitable global warming, we should invest in adding evaporation towers to the remaining reactors (good luck convincing anyone to pay for that though).
