Electric power plants use pure, distilled, H2O to cool their
generators. Â*Â*If that water conducted electricity, it would short out
the generators.

At least, that's what my electrical engineer buddy who works for the
3rd largest power supplier in the US tells me.

While air, water and oil all have been (and still are in some cases)
used for cooling, modern large power generators use H gas for generator
cooling since its comparable low density, high specific heat and thermal
conductivity allows a significant improvement in efficiency and
commensurate reduction in size/expense.
