To express the idea that, "There are nuke plants on the east coast of the US that produce hot water and therefore that might be the reason the Gulf Stream is heating up" is a ridiculous statement.  You apparently have no sense of scale with respect to your statement and no engineer would state that.  The solar energy hitting the earth renders the nuke plant energy insignificant.  As an alleged propulsion engineer you would have to have a complete mastery over heat generation and heat flow concepts and you would never had made that statement.

Just trying to keep it real!

This is the same guy that claims that myself, TK and a guy named Allan, have stolen all of his ideas.  We are also the same guys that are preventing him from building anything.  This is a shame really.  I almost feel sorry for the guy.

  you're funny bill. you must've seen Alan's post on reverse psychology. I guess that thing I'm putting together is what ?
And no, you haven't stolen my idea's but you have tried. After all, all you have is an e-zine build that you can show.  LMAO ?
 And of course Allan has his armor and non working things, he won't say what they are   :D

  Read this, it disagrees with you. I think what you're missing is the obvious. If we take the water from once through systems and put it to use in some place where the aquifer is drying up, then the water down stream which might be the ocean which could be a little cooler. Of course, it could be used in any water system as well.
  And the last time I checked, when aquifers go dry, farming tends to stop.
 And in 2012 in Illinois, their reactors were discharging water that was 100F. Massive fish die off.
 Of course, you've done the math being smart and all, 100 million more people in the next 50 years and less farming equals the good life that we have today   ;)

and; milehigh, do you live in Denver ? Even if you don't, the Ogallala Aquifer that runs from South Dakota to Texas is slowly being depleted and is an important source of water for agricultural purposes as well as other needs. Losing that food production and with increasing population growth, it'll be interesting to see whether or not it results in some type of food shortage or higher cost for food since we'd probably need to import more if it's available.

I read the pdf and no doubt that we use lots of water in energy production.  When you go to buy a gallon jug of milk for all we know it took 45 gallons of water to produce it.  Thankfully, the water is essentially indestructible and keeps coming back for more.

The problem is that the paper and your comments have nothing to do with the issue at hand:  A ridiculous connection being drawn between nuke plant hot water production and the temperature of the Gulf Stream that no engineer would ever state, especially after reading that pdf.

  Nah, you just have to attack me for saying I should quit saying anything about engineering when I'm the only one it seems in this part forum with any schooling in engineering.
 And after reading your answer, it really doesn't make any sense.

I hope Stefan moderates you.  We have a lot lot of better things to be working on .
