Question

A battle has erupted over a local power plant owner's decision to raise the power delivered by the plant from 170 MW to 470 MW (The delivered power accounts for energy losses). The local population is increasing, so the area needs more power. However, the plant expends its heated waste water* into the Frustration River; local citizens are concerned that the heated water will raise water temperatures to the point where the endangered river smelt will die from oxygen depletion.

Local biologists called into the fray report that the smelt can only withstand an average increase of 3.44
