okay but to maybe beat a dead horse, if you have these enormous cooling towers spewing out steam, is the steam coming out the top of those just not economically viable to use to run smaller generators or something?
- inigyou 3mo agoThere are plants with multiple stages of turbines. You really do need high pressure, high temperature steam to make appreciable energy though. What comes off the top of a cooling tower will keep you warm, but it's had 99% of its energy already extracted.
