    im not shitting on this, but would this completely destroy the surrounding ocean ecosystem by heating it up? or i know water holds onto heat longer than land, but i dont know the oceans capacity for heat dissipation

      It’s an unfathomably big ocean, and the heat would quickly dissipate via convection. If it has any appreciable effect at at, I think it would be very localized, to an area too small to be a cause for concern.
