> Nuclear power plants have to be next to a large body of water With the one exception of Arizona’s Palo Verde generating station. It’s the US’s largest power plant (by actual production, not nameplate capacity) and it is the world’s only nuclear power station not located near a body of water. It’s right in the middle of the desert. It’s cooled by evaporating waste water from Phoenix. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Verde_Nuclear_Generating_Station https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palo_Verde_Nuclear_Generatin... 2. https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-in-the-us-top-10.php https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-...
