Waste Heat to Power

This one is kinda interesting;
From NPR:

A Lot Of Heat Is Wasted, So Why Not Convert It Into Power?

"One factor working in Scullin's favor: There's plenty of waste heat out there to be harvested. "We waste heat because of the laws of thermodynamics," he says.

i

Those laws state that it's impossible to use the energy in fuel to power a car or generate electricity without some of that energy going to waste.

"Thermoelectrics haven't attracted much attention in the alternative-energy world, but Scullin seems to be drawn to areas others have overlooked."

This Could Be Good

It Can Be Done.

The Fuzz thinks this is interesting.
If they could do it, couldn't the rest of us?

"Germany gets 50 percent of its electricity from solar for the first time"

"...now for the first time ever, that country has succeeded at generating over 50 percent of a day's electricity from solar. On Monday June 9th, which was a national holiday in Germany, solar power production peaked at 23.1 GW, which equaled 50.6 percent of total electricity demand."

"Germany’s successful solar strategy has been to encourage individuals to install them on rooftops rather than building huge solar farms. 90 percent of solar panels in Germany are located on individuals’ roofs."

Of course it won't be easy, but the potential is here.

Or will we keep wasting of energy fighting over it.
