In their case I am sure it is helped along by the fact that I think the National Renewable Energy Lab is located in Golden.

Some ESET instructors at NSCC told me that the boilers at Tufts Cove sink enough heat into the Narrows to heat 30,000 homes. It would be more attractive to me to figure out the engineering to drive the heat over to Halifax from an existing site, though not sure you can move it several miles efficiently.
