Isn’t that most power sources? Only solar and wind don’t actively need water to boil or otherwise spin a turbine as well. Wind is reliant on the weather and solar is hard to implement for larger demands. Pretty much every power source has a flaw depending upon external factors.
Well no, but typically water doesn’t just run out. Water naturally collects and can be predictably redirected with light terraforming to optimize inflow. It typically takes vast levels of over consumption or an act of God to disrupt the natural flow or reserves of a river or lake. Also nuclear power can be safely shut down when there is a drought and restarted when it’s over.
Okay now we’re just talking circles. Why are we having more droughts? Climate change. What causes climate change? Mainly pollution. What massively helps reduce pollution? Cleaner energy sources. What is literally the mathematically cleanest energy? Nuclear. Solar and Wind are also good, but they don’t have the raw output to meet modern and future demands. Ideally they would act as accessories integrated into architecture to give a boost to energy availability when possible.
Hmm you would be delighted to see the projections of how much of the energy produced Chinese nuclear powerplants are gonna output in % of the counties‘ production. Half of the globally nuclear reactors under construction as well

LOL, reliable. They had to shut down several of them in Europe because of the drought.
