@cnn: Romanian naval forces conducted controlled explosions to divert water to the Old Danube River after a decline in electricity production from record low water levels led to a state of emergency. The explosions aim to increase water flow to the Cernavoda nuclear power plant. #explosion #heatwave
This highlights how vulnerable critical infrastructure can become during prolonged drought. Nuclear plants may not rely on rivers for fuel, but they depend heavily on a stable water supply for cooling. When water levels drop, energy security can quickly become a national security issue.

Andrei Bogatu :
Because this government and previous governments didn't bother building new ways to produce energy and instead just closed power plants, and the hydropower dams which were built were blocked from opening by environmental NGO's.
