VLC! No ads ever, that’s insane!
I’m not sure that’s a myth, everywhere I search I find reasons to not drink hot tap water:
- The heated water may cause the plumbing to release harmful substances such as lead and nickel
- Cold water is fresher. Hot water stays in the plumbing system for a longer period of time to get heated. Longer stagnation time in the system may cause higher bacterial levels
- Hot water is exposed to more pollution sources since it passes through additional tanks or heating systems.
- The level of microorganisms is higher in hot water plumbing

(PS : I’m talking about France, where I live, where we mainly use water tanks to heat and store hot water. Cold tap water is perfectly fine to drink, on the other hand.)
Thanks for this summary! I was not aware of this article: “Why investing in new nuclear plants is bad for the climate”.
It sounded a bit counter-intuitive, but I’m gonna read this article
