I guess parent means the heat has to somewhere, closed system or not.

Some nuclear power plants use rivers and lakes, that’s bad for their ecosystems if it’s too much but this system uses dry coolers so the extra heat should be negligible

It goes to space like all the other heat does otherwise we'd be living on a ball of gently rotating lava.

Why're living on a ball of gently (and not so gently) rising temperatures...

It used to be much warmer.

Sure. The Earth used to be a ball of lava. Kinda not relevant when discussing the survivability of modern humans or the vast majority of the ecosystem though.

The question is, where does it go before.
