Re "heat sink": Most of the global climatic effects of our current energy infrastructure are due to the greenhouse effect, not direct heating. This stops going, which can only be a good thing (though at this point, a lot of greenhouse gains are already "baked in", absent some significant, and hugely expensive, project to take the greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere). Here's a physicist doing the math: http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2013/02/19/direct-and-indirect-heating-why-dont-power-plants-change-local-climate/ http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2013/02/19/direct-and-ind...
