MODERATORS
Just so people get the dimensions: somewhere over half(!) of French potable water is used to cool nuclear plants. The dimensions are similar when it comes to coal plants in Germany (but at least Germany plans to exit coal).
France gets a significant portion of its river water from glaciers in the Alps, e.g. that's 20% of the Rhône water. Those glaciers will not survive the next 15 years.
By then I'm guessing many nuclear plants will have been taken offline, since they're already pretty old
