Political Factoid
Two-thirds of the energy produced
by most coal and natural-gas
power plants in the United States
is lost as waste heat.*
In many other countries, such as Denmark,
Finland, Russia, China, ... the majority of that
otherwise wasted heat is captured and used
for local heating purposes.

electrical needs could be obained from this
wasted heat.
