It does take lots of power. CA is short of power. Fukushima exposed the folly of nuclear power plants. We will never clean that up and there are 400 plants on US soil of the Fukushima design. An EMP attack or Carrington class solar storm will turn many of those 400 plants into Fukushima style meltdowns. We have plenty of coal to keep the lights on.
Your 'facts' stink.
There are about 110 plants in the US. Some are PWR (pressurized water reactors) and some are BWR (boiling water reactors).
“It does take lots of power. CA is short of power.”
California is banking on the surrounding states to provide for us. Because the powers that be are a bunch of NIMBY’s. It’s like not drilling for oil and then expecting to get a good deal from the Arabs. I differ with you on nuclear energy. We need to exploit that technology not curtail it. Technology can solve any existing problems. What it cannot do is force businesses to run nuclear plants with competent operators and good operating methods. TEPCO should be bankrupted for how it was running Fukushima.
But no matter. We need to solve the water problem, instead of building a bullet train to nowhere. But water isn’t sexy to the idiots in Sacto. like a high-speed train is, that is, until there’s a drought. And then it’s too late. The planet has plenty of water, it’s just not always where it needs to be. And I have to second what another poster pointed out. If LA deported all it’s illegals, it would have an effect on our water supply.
Isn't making up your own statistics and facts fun?
Why not say there are 20,000 of them, if you're going to pull numbers out of your butt?
