The US isn't in the same position, but that's mostly because we have quite a bit of oil and gas production within the country, along with whatever we import. <br /><br /> Yes, we need to build safer plants, but we still need to build those plants.<br /><br /> And as an article posted by @<a href="https://gnusocial.net/index.php/user/176220" class="h-card u-url p-nickname mention">simsa04</a> notes, nuclear plants can float offshore and along with generating and sending power to the mainland, they can separate out fresh water and other seawater components to be sent as well.3404070http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2022-06-23T00:07:10+00:002022-06-23T00:07:10+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
