Why use body heat of course. These nutjobs have infested our government. We will all freeze to death if these lunatics get their way.........

"Part of the appeal of heating buildings with body heat is the delicious simplicity of finding a new way to use old technology (just pipes, pumps and water). Hands down, it’s my favorite form of renewable energy.
What could be cozier than keeping friends and strangers warm? Or knowing that by walking briskly or mousing around the shops, you’re stoking a furnace to heat someone’s chilly kitchen?
How about the reciprocity of a whole society, everyone keeping each other warm?
Widening their vision to embrace neighborhoods, engineers from Jernhusen, the state-owned railroad station developer, are hoping to find a way to capture excess body heat on a scale large enough to warm homes and office buildings in a perpetual cycle of mutual generosity. Heat generated by people at home at night would be piped to office buildings first thing in the morning, and then heat shed in the offices during the day would flow to the residences in the late afternoon. Nature is full of life-giving cycles; why not add this human one?"

It's an interesting concept, and not entirely unrealistic.

Interesting, probably feasible concept, but their sales pitch is sort of creepy.

"Also, the buildings can’t be more than 100 to 200 feet apart, or the heat is lost in transit. The essential ingredient is a reliable flux of people every day to provide the heat."

Red meat for the Agenda 21 folks.

Do you seriously have any sort of conscience or pride? Or do you just spurt whatever lies and misinformation you can? It's pretty pathetic.

It is pretty obvious you have zero scientific knowledge and even worse you posted an article that you didn't read.
