It also doesn't put particular matter.

But from every single aspect that you look at it, nuclear is just superior.

So those are not smokestacks.

The smokestacks are different.

They're like thinner stacks.

And those are usually in coal plants and they're putting out shit into the environment.

But the nuclear power plant, you're not actually seeing smokestacks.

You're seeing cooling towers.

And what's the thing that they're putting out is actually just water vapor.

So nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors actually get very hot.

That's how they make electricity.

They use the energy trapped inside of atoms.

to heat up water, which creates steam.

And the steam then spins a turbine that is connected to a generator.

And that's how it makes electricity.

So nuclear reactors get very hot and they need to be cooled down.

And one of the most popular ways in which they're cooled down is we get water from a large body of water nearby.

It can be an ocean or a lake or a river.

And you suck that water into a cooling system that goes around a secondary loop in the reactor.

So it's not actually touching the reactor.
