I'll admit, I'm not an engineer, much less an expert in thermodynamics, but I don't think it takes a genius to see that we have a great many more industrial processes that pump heat into the atmosphere. You would think that this heat must somehow make the atmosphere warmer than it would have been otherwise.
Since that heat really represents energy, wouldn't it stand to reason that there'd be some benefit from rendering that energy useful?
