Fay had a link to an article about the nuke plants in the area that had bad flooding a while back. The writer actually wondered *why* the plants were located near rivers.

This showed how little he'd bothered to actually try to inform himself.

For any readers who *don't* know, it's because nuke plants use a *lot* of water for cooling. Not run directly thru the reactors, but used to cool the working fluid that *does *go thru the reactors.

Coal plants use a fair bit of water too, for similar reasons.
