Finnish town wants to capture cremation heat to warm homes
The Tampere Evangelical Lutheran Parishes plans to divert excess heat from the Valtiala crematorium into the local district heating network.
The Federation of Tampere Evangelical Lutheran Parishes wants to pump excess heat from its Valtiala furnace into the local central heating system to heat homes in the town as well as in nearby Kangasala.
If the parish union and Kangasalan Lämpö reach an agreement, the crematorium's excess heat could be warming homes in the area by next winter.

Well my grandma liked to say waste not, want not. Not much different than heating with dead dinosaurs I guess.
Respectfully, I have to know: was your grandma an actual dinosaur...? Because now I'm jealous.
Not quite, but they did live through the great depression in the early 1900s, so things like keeping a box of buttons to fix your shirts and a basement full of canned anything on sale where pretty standard.
But seriously, as cool as a Grandma T-Rex would have been, my grandparents were awesome in their own rights. They also saved so many things...
