It's also a sad fact of "the free market" that your heat-and-power guys would have to do it FAR cheaper than anyone else's heat service on offer, or they wouldn't get enough local punters to make their enterprise worth while.

It's the sort of thinking that questions what went before as acceptable, but isn't any longer because the world has changed. What may have been accepted as "waste" whatever, is better described as wasted. "Waste"was the term that would allow "rubbish" to be "thrown away". We know now there is no "away".
