US and European energy supplies vulnerable to climate change
Vienna, Austria (SPX) Jun 08, 2012
Higher water temperatures and reduced river flows in Europe and the
United States in recent years have resulted in reduced production, or
temporary shutdown, of several thermoelectric power plants, resulting in
increased electricity prices and raising concerns about future energy
security in a changing climate.

Warmer water and reduced river flows in the United States and Europe in
recent years have led to reduced production, or temporary shutdown, of
several thermoelectric power plants. For instance, the Browns Ferry
Nuclear Plant in Alabama had to shut down more than once last summer
because the Tennessee River's water was too warm to use it for cooling.
