How different is this from Cornell's lake source cooling plant? Opponents of that made the same sorts of claims, but afaik were never able to prove that lake temperatures were any different once you get more than a few yards away from where the water was released.

- deviledeggs 5y agoIt's not different :) Water can absorb enormous amount of energy. And releases huge amounts as it evaporates. And the lake is in contact with massive land surface that also absorbs ton of energy. The deeper parts of Seneca lake are isothermal with regional ground temperature, so there's clearly no problem with heat dissipation
