Heisenburg's Uncertainty Principle -
DxDp>=hbar/2
Or as my old prof used to say
"When you've got energy, you don't have the time.
And when you've got the time, you don't have the energy."
"The Concorde first flew in 1969 and became a symbol of French and European industrial acumen."
Actually the Concorde was a Franco-British project, not a Franco-European one (whatever that means).
"The development project was negotiated as an international treaty between Britain and France..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde Surely such a rare collaboration between the cheese-munchers and the Perfide Anglais deserves to be recognised... 8-)
When the water goes back to the ocean, its heat is dissipated into, guess what ? You got it. The atmosphere.
I'd have thought the returned water would dissipate it's heat into the surrounding water. Surely if, as you rightly say, heat flows from hot to cold then the atmosphere would only pick up energy from the returned water if the water was above ambient air temperature. Seeing as it's the surrounding air temp that's providing the higher temperature heat sink in this, I don't see how that can happen.
I don't claim to be right, but I can't follow your reasoning here.
