For Terraformer re Calliban district heating plan ...

I have completed some work for the Carnforth district heating project.
https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 81#p226881

The same system can be replicated where ever we have a densely populated town close to the coast.  That covers most of the UK population and a significant fraction of European population overall.

This is a good time for you to try your wings a bit .... I recognize you are still building your education base for a career in civic leadership, but it sure looks to me as though Calliban has set out a plan that just might work, if the right leadership appears on the scene.

For Terraformer ...

Carnforth is less than 10 miles from Heysham 1 and 2   The whole district (whole bay?) could be heated by nuclear, the sticking point is the ridiculous Green Party that's in power there.

How are those plants cooled today?

By implication of your report, I am guessing all that heat is dumped into the atmosphere?

Could the population near the plant(s) benefit from reduced expenditures for heating if the waste heat were routed into their homes?

Some investment would be required.

Would such investment pay for itself over a sufficiently long period?
