    So? There’s one near me that operates a local heating grid with the 2xcess heat. They can probably more easily make money on the byproduct in a city.

      the excess heat should be free. carbon emission would be tolerated for residential electricity generation, but not for record profit companies

        Why? There is engineering, infrastructure, planning and maintenance involved in the provision.

        Utility provisions is also a well regulated industry where I am so I’d imagine undercutting regulation with free heating wouldn’t stand.
