How antique and inefficient is it to try to heat a city by piping hot water around, anyhow?
Yup. We had those in my 1-3 grades in grade school. (a long time ago)
Well, I, for one, am shocked. Don't you know about "district heating"? This is the latest and the greatest idea in energy-efficiency currently sweeping the stylish circles of the northeast.
I kid you not. The theory is that one big old boiler downtown can heat dozens and dozens of buildings so much more efficiently than our nasty old system of a furnace in each. Why, it's the next best thing to eliminating the car and urban sprawl.
