@ZLabe I suspect that the absorbed heat can be recovered and used to create useful wire power. Only at planetary engineering scale though. The many outfalls would be low ambient temp, slightly higher density seawater. Huh… I hadn’t thought of that type of topic in years. No magic

No unintended consequences. Just very large scale thermodynamics at work. The electrons must find a beneficial use…lol.

But, entropy always wins.

@ZLabe The energy involved in that amount of warming is amazing. It’s too bad we can’t put it to beneficial use.
