Total Grid Collapse probable! Hunger Games begin now:( there is a reason why freshwater laws in america are being "tightened" Quoting: aether Power plants most vulnerable to water scarcity. Who knew? Power plants use 40% of U.S. freshwater supplies. How will they cope with a drier climate? Who will keep the lights on when the water runs out? Quoting: observationNotes: Thermoelectric plants (nuclear, coal and gas) make up roughly 90 percent of the U.S. electricity mix and they use 40 percent of the nation’s freshwater supplies. Climate change will reduce freshwater supplies and threaten power plants that use water for cooling. [link to www.climatebites.org] Vulnerability of US and European electricity supply to climate change In the United States and Europe, at present 91% and 78% (ref. 1) of the total electricity is produced by thermoelectric (nuclear and fossil-fuelled) power plants, which directly depend on the availability and temperature of water resources for cooling. During recent warm, dry summers several thermoelectric power plants in Europe and the southeastern United States were forced to reduce production owing to cooling-water scarcity........

Hunger Games begin now:( could be a warning or fearmongering to sell more ads. after all fear sells. the writer says worse drought in 60 years, but offers no facts to support this and worse by what degree. without some of this information it is hard to get a full picture, IMO. |

Total Grid Collapse probable! Hunger Games begin now:( This is definately something to consider. Quoting: Lisa From Indiana 20996194 I never knew that energy depended so heavily on water. EVERYTHING depends on water. This simply CANNOT be stressed enough. EVERYTHING "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." -- Albert Einstein "The Upholder of the Cycles which supports the whole of Life, is water. In every drop of water dwells the Godhead, whom we all serve; there also dwells Life, the Soul of the "First" substance - Water - whose boundaries and banks are the capillaries that guide it and in which it circulates" -- Viktor Schauberger |

Total Grid Collapse probable! Hunger Games begin now:( "New carbon emissions standards can also help save water. A plan proposed by the Obama administration (requiring new power plants to emit no more than 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt hour generated) would encourage utilities to choose less carbon- and water-intensive fuels." WHAT A CROCK OF LIBTARD BULLSHIT. |
