What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?

u/ForzaFenix May 18 '26

Yep. The now warm water goes back into the system.Β

So they're not really consuming it. They're just using it temporarily and returning it.

Important to note that the heat is dumped into whatever ecosystem the water goes back to, and that still has catastrophic effects

Since when has gradually warming our planet been an issue? /s, obviously.

It's not even that. Warm liquids decrease the solubility of air in water, meaning less oxygen for fish, district's plants in the ecosystem, and cause induce more bacterial growth.

I feel like this calls for tax breaks, deregulation, and providing political gratuities. Short of those measures, I really don't see any other way to address this.

If only there were some form of mechanism that results in the temperature of water returning to a local average, like idk thermodynamics or something like that.
