We have thought about utilising the unused hot water , but even if the waters boiling hot , its still not hot enough , and the capacities not there ,
So , not hot enough , for any worthwhile electric generation ,
Pity though ,
I thought ,as Phill, that having that " spare" capacity , could be used , especially in summer ,
But the "numbers " dont stack up !
I like the idea of pumping water to a head , and , IF , you had the height and dam capacity , well , got me thinking !
