75% of the earth surface is covered with water, so no problem of water supply. And the water that boils off the nuclear plants is returned to the surface as rain, contributing to the fresh water supply of the planet. Clearly the guy that wrote this article an anti-human-development, extremist tree hugger, blinded to the facts moron.

Nuclear Sites also get their cooling water from man-made lakes constructed by the utility adjacent to the facility. I happen to know of a few sites where the fishing is great because the lakes are stocked by the plant owners - and the fish are not contaminated by mercury like the fish from the Great Lakes, nor are they radioactive.

Thermal and evaporative cycles dont "consume" water. Mother nature recycles and cleanses it for you! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

Yes, nuclear power plants need a lot of water for cooling. But the water is not used up. Usually either a river or a lake is used for cooling the secondary side water, thereby raising the water temperature of the river or lake a few degrees. Oceans also make good heat sinks. But again, very little water is actually used up.

It is stories like this that mislead Americans - and for what purpose? There has been a 40 year effort to socialize America and reduce our freedoms. Being.... More
