As a society, we routinely burn fossil fuels at about 1000°C to heat our homes at about 22°C. These plants are in an arid region, with little access to water for power plant cooling. So, during the heat of the summer and without water cooling, binary power plants become less efficient. Doing that depends a lot on policy.
