It really sounds like a perfect use of nuclear power. If you match the NPP with the carbon capture plant you have a nice consistent load.

All my favorite shows download automatically to my server. I can stream them to any of my devices. There are no ads or viruses.

I grew up in an agricultural area and the water was completely untreated. It was literally a canal from the river that was then sprayed onto fields. It wasn't uncommon to have to clean out small fish from the irrigation pump's filter. Sometimes you'd lose water pressure completely and have to drive down to the irrigation ditch and clean a racoon carcass or something out of the intake grate.
