Hinkley C will produce 9,000 MWt, 3,200 MWe

5.8 GW of heating is literally a drop in the Bristol Channel,
but couldn't it be used e.g. to "hothouse" a giant algae
lagoon, which you harvest for biofuel?

Makes more sense to use the heat to grow vegys
etc in winter and produce the fuel directly instead.
And not **** the gas against the wall heating houses.
