it also requires zero effort on their part

straight up not feasible for many serious and necessary facilities like powerplants and refineries, unless you prefer very warm lake or river nearby (which also cools down by evaporation later)

jesse, what the fuck are you talking about. you can't make efficient antenna for UHF using power transformer toroid
