I've had a couple of friends ask me if I'm prepping.

Prepping for what?

I see the UK is doing a Be Prepared campaign and Fucking Dan Bongino said something on a podcast. What's that about?

Climate change affects power generators.

When rivers dry up, it obviously affects hydroelectric generators.

But it also affects nuclear power, because they're dependent on a constant source of cool water. If a river water level drops below the nuclear power plant's water intake pipe, the plant has to shut down because it can't cool the nuclear reactor vessel

    Not just Nuclear, Coal and Gas plant use loads of water as well. A typical 1,000 MW plant consuming up to 2.5 billion liters of water per year, mostly for cooling.

    Regardless of how you heat water, you need water.
