How-Sen Chong @how-sen.com · 25/06/2026Yesterday, France had it’s hottest day ever recorded. And in the midst of this record breaking heat wave, France had to *shut down nuclear reactors* because the water they use as a coolant is too hot. Nuclear is not the answer. #onpoli #topoli 2219 0
Devan Marr @devanmarr.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Yeah, but they didn't shut it down because the water going IN was too hot. It was to protect the surrounding environment to avoid discharging water that was too hot. This was a regulatory limit, not a tech limit. www.euronews.com/2026/06/25/f... 240 0
How-Sen Chong @how-sen.com · 25/06/2026The messaging from the nuclear industry here is just a masterful piece of shifting the blame to government regulation and mocking people for caring about ecosystems — ecosystems that literally cool river water. 020 0
Devan Marr @devanmarr.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Is our time and money better spent on renewables and battery storage that can be built faster/cheaper than nuclear? Probably. But I don't think "government complies with environmental protection regs" is our best argument against nuclear. 120 0
