Interesting article by this professor. I went on to read this article to learn more about the Paris cooling system.
‘Kind of miracle solution’: How Paris is harnessing the Seine to replace air-con https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/26/underground-revolution-seine-cooling-network-paris-buildings-heat
The important part: This is backed by experts. “The energy consumption should be much less than if the same cooling were provided by modular systems,” said Charles Simpson, a senior researcher in climate change at University College London, referring to air conditioning units
Only that the same rules must apply as for nuclear power plants. If the Seine gets too hot in summer they will switch cooling off.
Ahh and when there is a drought the issue only compounds. Europe is not ready for this climate disaster. What a mess this has all become
Heating up rivers is not cool though but of course ONE way to do it
