straight up not feasible

It’s very feasible to create the law, collect the fine, and raise the price on energy sources or industrial process that require the cooling.

It’s a formality, you could do it in an afternoon. Costs a bit of ink and a piece of paper.

“But then it gets more expensive!” and “This might push corporations out of the city/country.” is the consequence the people / the government / the country have to have the balls to endure, if they want to stand by things like “having enough water” or “living on earth in the 22nd century”.

If the free market is something you believe in, you should love this, because it makes water a more scarce resource and the market will be able to find another optimal solution to that new scarcity problem.
