It's literally the steam rising off of the shit running through the sewers.

nah

...

no it's not, new york has a steam pump system that pumps steam to be used for heat and other things throughout the city. it's an old system that a lot of cities had.

you also see this a lot on old x files episodes which were shot in vancouver during the 90s

It's Grey water, which is bath, dish or laundry water. Anything without raw sewage.

That seems extremely inefficient.

How much of that heat is being lost through conduction traveling through underground pipes that aren't even in the buildings?

Do you think this is the real reason for global warming?

Who cares? This isn't a third world country, who gives a crap about heat being lost. We have a lot of it.

Presumably the company producing the power should care if they're flushing potential profits down the drain

Turtles hittin the smoke yo.

the vast majority of electricity is generated with steam, user

Shit, this was supposed to be a skyline pic, fucking hiromoot

that picture does not look like NY. And NYC really does have steam coming out of holes in the street. Sometimes they blow up.

It's like New York but without New Yorkers.

The locals are nice. You know locals, Chinese, Filipinos & Indians.

Why don't they get rid of it then?
