Save the Manatee

I always deny that there is any connection between carbon dioxide emitted by fossil fuel burning and global warming/climate change, but the UN and the Obama administration have spent billions of dollars to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
The Washington Times reports that the manatee needs the warm water generated by coal burning power plants as they also emit carbon dioxide.. Here's a quote from the Washington Times, "From November to April, hundreds of manatees huddle in the warm discharge canal of one of Florida’s biggest coal-fired plants, the Big Bend Power Station near Tampa, as camera-toting families point and laugh from a viewing deck at the gentle creatures lolling near the smokestacks. Some two-thirds of Florida’s endangered manatees rely on discharge waters from power plants for winter warmth, according to federal biologists."
This is a real quandary for the Obama administration. How do we protect the manatee as an endangered species, from dying of the cold and still maintain the pressure to eliminate coal burning power plants?
The Obama administration is famous for coming up with ridiculous suggestions. Here is one they might latch onto: We shut down the Big Bend Power Station, continue to push electricity generation from wind turbines, and then use electric heaters to heat the water in the canal near the then defunct power station.
