Water use is not an externality. All water used is paid for.
- atoav 2y ago[citation needed] Nuclear Power plants who use river water in their cooling cycle and pump the (now heated) water back to the river don't pay for that.
- modeless 2y agoThat's not the kind of water use the article is complaining about.
- atoav 2y agoAll water use includes that one right?
- grues-dinner 2y agoThe cooling system illustrated in the article is very very similar to a typical nuclear power station cooling system. From the heat exchanger onwards, the secondary loop is functionally identical, the main difference is the primary loop working fluid (and that loop operates at a far lower temperature and pressure).
