I get your point, but it's a bit more nuanced. High water temp doesn't just impact the ecosystem, but also the plant's cooling efficiency. Also, those ecological rules aren't just guidelines, they're legally binding. As for coal, absolutely agree - we don't want to go backwards, but this does show how climate change throws a wrench in the works even for clean energy.
