Always funny to see how plutonium pilled hn is. Nuclear power in Italy is idiotic. They won't even be able to cool the damn reactors. Europe is drying out.

Italy is surrounded by water, do you think the Mediterranean Sea is going to just dry out?

His ignorance is on full display when he said plutonium.

the Mediterranean has dried up several times in history and it will dry up again, as the African continent collides with Europe. Currently, water flows in at Gibraltar with a very strong current to try to keep up with evaporation, making the Mediterranean saltier and saltier (than the Atlantic) over time. When the strait closes because Africa and Spain push together, the Meditteranean will very quickly dry up.

So really no danger of the Med drying up over the lifetime of a nuclear power station, conservatively 100 years.
