I think those pumps should be powered by windmills and solar panels.

Wow, those pumps must be really low.
I wonder why they have to push the water so high?

Hydroelectric, of course.

Is it just me, or would it make more sense for them to save the water in holding ponds, and then release it into the ocean if and only if the plant fails inspection. (But, if it passes inspection, that water is good to go.)

Sounds like a good job for a nuclear power plant.
