The sea is a big place. I could imagine perhaps some very localised effects near the plant, but even this isn't obvious.

So basically you're admitting you don't know anything about the subject, but you're making a conclusion anyway. It's OK to admit you don't know enough about a subject, and it's OK to not comment or theorize based on no knowledge besides an imagination.

A man once said, "imagination is more important than knowledge."

I didn’t know that making assumptions while clearly saying you are making assumptions is forbidden on HN.
