Oldblue: Is this another riddler message? " ... CH did say the company would be better off going more into waste heat than the boilers" No doubt MW turbines, even very efficient ones, produce many kW of waste heat. The useful transformation of that waste is the subject of his interest in Inspirit. Efficiency isn't the be all and end, since the raw power source is free, maybe cost, reliability and maintenance may be of more interest than ultimate efficiency. I would think offshore wind-farms would be the long term solution to our nations energy strategy - if we have one since Michael Hesletine's reign. The question is, what do you do with the waste heat 3 miles offshore ? Presumably conversion of the heat to electricity is the only viable option or is the production of Hydrogen offshore viable. Whatever, having a load of heat offshore is a waste.
