Coal power plants have the same cooling problem as nuclear power plants. And looking at some rivers in Europe at the moment the problem with power plants using water for cooling isn't just heating up rivers too much, the water levels a

A lot (not all) of cooling towers still require water for evaporative cooling. And the restrictions aren't just for temperatures of returned water they're also for the amount of water taken from rivers, during droughts that amount

In C a pointer is a version of the optional type, implementing an explicit version of it is therefore pointless. In other languages you could enforce that a pointer can't be null or even forbid it to be uninitialized therefore you need

Even the old plants would require investment for modernisation. Winters can get cold depending on the area, but probably warmer on average than Canada. There are currently around 30 million households (around 75%) heating with either gas (5

Germany is shutting down coal power plants, not just nuclear. Last year eight lignite fired plants and ten hard coal fired plants were shut down. A total of 7.6 GW, compare that to the 4.3 GW of nuclear that was also shut down last year. So
