DL, you gave me an idea.

Heating up a home is not a problem here in Houston, where we wear shorts most of the year, but for you folks in the Great White North, what if you ran your drier vent duct past a fan. The fan would transfer some of that drier heat to the air.

If you were really inventive, you could run the hot drier air through some kind of radiator type device and blow air through it.

We let so much energy go to waste in our homes. There has got to be a way to generate power from the attack heat we get in the summer. I am surprised that we don’t heat up our water with our attack heat. Seems like a waste of energy to me. What we need is something that will convert the summer heat energy into electric energy. You figure that out and you could be make a ton of money, and help save the environment.
