So any citizen can call up and request the river be raised so their family can take a boat trip?

Unlike the Left, we don’t believe in erasing American history — we honor it.”

Really? Because your guys spent the first few months of this year erasing as much history of women and minorities as you could get your hands on.

Oh and you guys are trying to erase about half the history of impeachment in the country.

This is the way.

I'm an actual engineer with a degree and everything, although this is not my area of expertise, it's one I'm familiar with.

They could do something like you suggest, but every step becomes more expensive and less effective. The exhaust from a coal fired power plant is still plenty hot, and more energy could be extracted from it. But it requires more and more to make less and less.

The curse of every engineer is to see a way to them every waste stream into a useful product, but not being able to do so profitably. (Which means no-one will approve the project)

Everything does happen for a reason. In many cases, it happens because some evil prick has not been properly dealt with.

Interesting. They only works in a few cases, but It's good to have the options.

The difficulty is, to put it in very simple terms, is that physics doesn't allow that. The less simple explanation is a thermodynamics textbook, and trust me, you don't want that.

Everything generates heat. Everything. Everything. Anything that seems to generate "cold" is generating more heat somewhere else.

Note your use of the word "cool."

No sunlight for 10 days at a time.

A condenser will generate the same amount of heat that they are trying to dissipate.

Remember, tortillas make every kind of meat better.

Can't imagine you'd want to put your mouth on a pig or cow either, but properly butchered and prepared, they are quite palatable.

I imagine it's the same principle.
