I like their movement toward clean recyclable waste, overstuffed landfills is a big issue, but i wish there was a way to get the energy out of it without turning everything back into carbon dioxide. and the phrase "warm, polluted water" sends me a red flag. I want to know more about how it's getting polluted and with what, like why they're letting it get out of the pipes to get polluted, and why they won't be using it to heat the rest of the plant before they put it back. (my guess is that they are, and that's why it's warm water going back to the river and not boiling hot water.) to answer your question tho, yes water temp makes a big big difference. to the dissolved nutrient content, to the things that grow on those nutrients, to the clarity of the water, to the timing of things melting in spring and all the things wait for that melt. action? it looks like the state legislature is reviewing the rules, and burning hazardous materials isn't actually legal yet. Write to your district representative, or call his (her?) office to find out if the Committee on Telecommunications and Energy has a separate office.
