Water? Same place it was going

I mean, at least some percentage was going down the wire. That’s why we do it, right?
It would be funny if we were doing the whole song and dance just to amuse the electrons.

If the turbines are 50% efficient, then the heat load on the cooling towers would double, which I have to assume is WELL within design limits.

You have made me wonder about turbine overspeed and steam bypass.
