Was originally meant to be a meltdown, but well, this is dystopian enough.

    But that’s a nuclear power plant. So that’s not pollution, it’s steam. Those are cooling towers.

    It’s not dystopian, it’s a dream to have that kind of nuclear power.

    Fun fact when it comes to nuclear power plants the cooling towers arent releasing nuclear waste or heavy chemicals. Its litterally just steam from water. All nuclear plants do is use radioactive material to heat up a contained pool of water kept at a pressure that prevents it from boiling awayand which is piped through another container of water that is at a lower pressure so it boils before the ‘nuclear’ water. That steam from the ‘non-nuclear’ water is then feed through a steam turbine to produce electricity before being sent through a condenser to be reused.

    Those would be cooling stacks - only thing out of them is steam that was never even close to the core, with a LOT of safety.

    Nuclear is by far the best power source we have today.

    You should probably study this stuff before condemning like this.
