    That’s still a water requirement and that water is bathing in isotopes. And solar and wind don’t require steam for power generation.

      The water that’s being used to generate power isn’t touching the core at all

      as for solar and wind, you are right, but don’t underestimate how many solar panels and wind turbines you should have to put to completely replace all power production, that’s an immense land requirement, not to mention the immense material cost

      But hey, if we can manage to get enough renewables I’m completely on board
