Good article, it makes sense to plan heat-pumps on a larger scale, hope support for such initiatives survives russian disinfo.
Couldn't they pump some heat directly from the Danube, or would that be too problematic for ecology and countries downstream ?
- Hungary heats the Danube right back up at Paks, so no biggie. Especially if they open the new block - which is never because it's supposed to be built by Russia.
  That said, the screeching about the damage even if it was nonexistent would be epic.
