Getting back to the OP- 30 years back we had co-generation plants all over up here. The idea was they were supposed to burn trash and make power. Not a one remains because they were massively inefficient. We have another form of co-gen plant that heats, with nat gas, 2 prisons and a phsyc center. They aren't even producing 10% of their rated out put, but as I understand since the it's a State/private enterprise deal they can't sell the power on the open market. The solar array thing? They had a proposed set up int he south west desert some place a few years back. I forget if it was solar to gen power or steam to power, but either way it got killed off because the greenies blocked it. The shade from the arrays would have created a cooler climate in the desert and some cricket or toad might possibly have had to move 6 feet over to a sunny spot! Same for tidal generators. Can't have them, or off shore wind farms, because it ruins the view and might smack a bird or a fish.
For every answer you offer, there will be 100 well funded anti-power organizations that sue to block any good idea. Meanwhile natural gas is burbbling out of the ground near me and there are laws specifically preventing anyone from collecting it and using it.........
Follow the money trail and you'll find out why we don't do what is sensible and why we invest in the outlandish.
