Energy WATCO

WATCO constructing more nuclear power plants cooled by treated sewage ON the environment and the US economy?

Nuclear power plants cooled by treated sewage will improve the state of the environment and the US economy B/C minimal carcinogens will be released into the air, billions of gallons of water will be recycled annually, and dependence on petroleum will be reduced.

Anything that will improve air quality, recycle millions of tons of non-consumable waste, and reduce the use of petroleum will benefit the environment and the US economy.


-So, the Palo Verde Plant outside of Phoenix relies on treated sewage from nearby municipalities. Billions of gallons are recycled each year in this effort. By that virtue, nuclear power could be spread to many inland locations around the country, while now nuclear power plants must be adjacent to large bodies of water for cooling purposes.

I think that your idea is good but i would focus on one of the "ON's" in your paper. I think that since you have only four pages that you will not be able to talk about both thoroughly enough. that is just my suggestion. good luck.
