I think the question is what is the local impact of the temperature increase? It would be good to know if it harms certain types of ecosystems ahead of time rather than after the fact.
It's also possible that a direct increase in ocean temperature has undesirable knock-on effects that don't take place if you operate on land.
- bearjaws 6y agoI believe it would be less impactful than many power plants that vent their heat into the ocean. There are many studies, mainly around marine life (phytoplankton, manatees, other endangered species). These systems probably produce similar heat output into the water. https://assets.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/power-plant-cooling-IB.pdf https://assets.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/power-plant-cool... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0025326X18303825 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00253... https://res.mdpi.com/d_attachment/water/water-11-02577/article_deploy/water-11-02577-v2.pdf https://res.mdpi.com/d_attachment/water/water-11-02577/artic...
- kamel3d 6y agoWell this was all an experiment itself and I am sure the ecological factor is being taken in consideration
