Needlessly? Who would do that? No one here, that’s for sure 🙂

Industry uses vast amounts of heat for a vast number of processes and some processes need cooling as well. Buildings and, indeed, entire communities need heating and cooling.

Locally distributed FF units can provide both heating and cooling (via heat-powered absorption chiller systems.)

Simply substituting FF units for fossil power sources [em]lowers[/em] total industrial and habitation waste heat.

That’s the key concept I’ve tried to emphasize on many threads. The net heat-efficiency of FF is so far beyond any alternate source that there is only negative gain in tacking on any ancilliary equipment, etc. The vented heat, even just “dumped”, is less than the losses from any competing power source.
