The discussion about waste heat utilization made me think of the problems caused by power plants releasing warm water into the ocean. Manatees switched from using natural warm water springs to using the power plants' waste water to stay warm during winter. Recently many of those power plants have been shutting down due to us switching to renewable energy. So the source of the warm water that the manatees switched to is disappearing causing many of them to freeze to death.
