    Vapor really isn’t a problem, most of the water in nuclear return back to the source as water, and the vapor rains back.

    Renewables are definitely the way to go, but nuclear is needed as base source when renewables are not bringing in the needed electricity/heat.

      I think you got something wrong, as last years droughts in France showed, having enough water to vaporize is the issue, not that its lost. (also nobody wants to drink water that was inside a nuclear power plant…)

        Modern nuclear plants do not have these large vapor coolant towers, because it recycles the vapor and water within the plant.

        They use salty not drinkable sea water to cool the vapor back to water, without any contact from the vapor to sea water.

        Busting nuclear because vapor or water is just fear mongering without any basis on reality. There are other negative things with nuclear that so base in reality, like the fuel output and fuel dependency on uranium.
