I actually really don't get the point of wasting all this time and all that energy, instead of just pushing it into the water that is right there.
This seems like the new hotness going around in cities and I am jealous of the person making so much money off of this added deficiency
It's probably full of a lot of trash and impurities, melting it lets it be filtered through waste water systems.
I'm sorry are we talking about the Hudson or the snow?
But sure, I to don't want to keep using rivers as a toilet. I'm just not sure the energy costs are better since that is also a pollutant and this injects another machine as a thing that needs parts, grease, salt and a lot of generated heat, as well as a bottleneck on processing speed.
This feels more like a good salesman was involved than a practical decision.
