Considering that a diesel might be 25-30% efficient and maybe
70% of 100k btu per hour might be going out in the cold air. I have
become interested the CHP for home use with Stirlings and steam
turbines. Lots of natural gas could be saved in homes this winter
and provide distributed energy on the grid as well.
(enough soapbox

Given the prediction of 200 to 300% jump on the price and roughly 80% of the
steam utility plants run NG.
Homes may not be the only folks interested in reducing NG cost.
At the same time some clue on expected light bills, this winter while the
change on fuel supply comes to past
States like Montana and Kentucky might have a new found boom on their fuel
supply.Driven by NG price.
