6. As long as it's a closed system, no.

All thermoelectrics have the associated problem of needing water supply if they are not an air-cooled closed system. And there was that cooling tower microbe issue posted last week. That problem is the same as for fossil and nuclear, though.

There's an environmental footprint associated with building anything in thematerials and construction costs, but again that applies to everything.
