A bound on the local flux of magnetic monopoles moving more slowly than 3 x 10 to the -5th c is derived by requiring the energy released to be less than the measured heat flow at the surface of the earth. Similar arguments are used to derive a bound on the flux of monopoles at Jupiter moving more slowly than 0.001 c. Energy loss due to eddy currents induced by the monopoles' motion through the earth and Jupiter are taken into account, as well as energy loss via hadronic interactions and catalysis reactions. The energy released by nucleon decay catalyzed by captured monopoles is calculated. The integrated heat flow at the surface of the earth is then used to set a bound on the nucleon decay and on the flux of monopoles.
