11. Ringworld
An interesting fictional account of such a waste heat problem may be found in the Ringworld novels. One of the alien species managed to escape it's use of polluting power creation by way of fusion and some other fictional power systems. Then they heated up their planet with waste heat alone. Of course, their solution was to move the planet farther from the sun...

At any rate, Minato is either a confidence man or a looney. Or both.
