    ocean water can cause problems because of the salt and outputting too hot water can be bad for the marine ecosystem near it. plus, power plants near the ocean can be damaged by tsunamis.

      Thankfully there’s not many tsunamis in Australia, particularly on the east coast. But yes salt water plays havock with traditional water infrastructure and thermal pollution is a often overlooked issue.
