There is nothing inherently wrong with district heating. It's only the economic development claims up here in deeply depressed upstate New York that I mean to disparage.

Spending to build the infrastructure creates a few short-term construction jobs.

Perhaps it could yet turn out to be worthwhile. There is certainly waste heat that isn't being harnessed. Proponents of district heating might change their tactics. Economic salvation does not seem to be a side-benefit.

Dirty little secret: So called global warming, warms mostly countries like USA whose warmth derives from direct insolation, sunlight received...

while Europe, whose heat comes second hand from the USA by way of the Gulf Stream, is turned into an ice box by the weakening or even feared total HALT, of the Gulf Stream...could give England the climate of Siberia...no wonder they hate Americans.

But they have been preparing for this with a zero birthrate, they know subliminally their countries will soon be too cold to support life, while USA will be better and more productive than ever, with a climate in Omaha like what Memphis has now.

Or maybe there IS a God after all.
