some of the best fishing is on or near those hot water discharges.

But are the fish good to eat? Sometimes the water gets too warm and the fish health is compromised.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Fish (and manatees and porpoises, and dolphins ...) all grow faster, more healthy in warmer waters.

Only the enviro’s think health is harmed by a few miles of slightly warmer water. (Brook trout i na 6” deep mountain stream 20 feet across? That's not where power plants discharge.

Heating up the Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri or Snake River 2 degrees for two or three miles? Get real.

Sometimes the water gets too warm and the fish health is compromised.

I haven’t noted any greater number of diseased fish caught in these warm water discharge areas than other areas.

If anything the fish are larger and healthier.
