Climate Change May Cut Your Summertime Electricity

According to Scientific American, fossil fuel burning power plants aren't only causing climate change, they're likely to suffer from such global warming due to the fact that water, used for cooling fossil fuel plants, is running short, or its temperature is too high to be an effective coolant - which is ironic - according to the piece: "That problem is only going to get worse, according to an analysis in the journal Nature Climate Change. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.) By the 2040s, available electricity could be down by 16 percent in the summertime. When you’d most like electricity. To run your air conditioner. To beat the heat. Told you it was ironic."
