An interesting point!! A wise man once said that if you turned three corners you ended up where you started.
Â
Nuclear power cooling stations like most scientists will tell you uses up 80% more water than normal coal power cooling stations. Currently the Federal Govt is seeking control of the two most important rivers in Australia the Murry and the Darling. The Govt is proposing 25 of these power stations, that is a lot of water.
Â
But the public is not worried the Federal Govt has a wonderful idea about desalinization plants, ‘ this will give use as much water as we need’. Please think about this for a while cast your mind way back in the days of school when you did that experiment on removing water from salty water. The time taken to vaporize the water and cool again was a long time and took a lot of energy. The gas burner was firing the whole time. The end result was water that you could still taste traces of salt, and its hard water. Hard water wrecks your hair, stomach, skin and uses up double the detergent, soap or shampoo. Just ask anyone that has lived in Dubai.Â
Â
So it is a situation of nuclear power needs a lot of water and to make a lot of water would need a lot of power one feeds the other. The two power stations cancel each other out. Mega liters of water needs megawatts and megawatts need mega liters of water. Are you seeing what I am seeing yes we have just turned three corners and are back where we started no water and not enough power? The federal Govt knows this that is why they need control. So as when there mega investment doesn’t work they will have the power to make it work lots of water from the Murry and Darling. However there is one question left to be answered when we have no food because farmers no longer can take from the rivers because the water in needed to create ‘safe nuclear’ power what will be the next plan? Â
