I know nuclear power plants need vast amounts of water pumped around them to keep them cool. If the worst of the climate models come true (which is likely as it stands) and we have mass civil unrest, there's no guarantee water and power will flow to them.

It's an unnecessary risk, we have other options.

You think the seas are just going to dry up? You're more dense than the uranium powering these plants.
