The heat will disperse into whatever area the wastewater is dumped into. Some places make a cooling reservoir and let the mountain night cool the water and keep it semi-contained. Some is going to evaporate. That hot water will raise local temperatures, a lot
9TW is a phenomenal amount of energy Using AI the math shows the lake maintains temperature, but loses ~3.5 Billion gallons due to evaporation of this heat. AI assures this is negligible
I question everything. Lake levels and salinity have both dropped over the years. I question the number and size of data sites being considered
