Steam turbines with ultra superheated steam going through multistage

turbine, do even better. If the coolant water at around 40-60C is then
fed to housing next door for heating purposes...you are getting up
towards 75-80% usage of thermal energy released.

And the last little bit goes to help you farm fish in the cooling tanks

And then you die of dioxin/pcb poisoning :-)

So, two points

Actually, I did not write any of the words above. Somebody has screwed up
the attribution marks and the headers yet again.
