    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.

      It’s a site that removes the paywall, if you run into one. If you don’t, then… well, you can just read the original page.
