    Changing your energy generation from burning something to turning a turbine with wind power, hydropower or geothermal power. Or just using solar, means that you have no waste heat for electrical generation.

    Waste heat is only created when you burn a fuel to boil the water.

      If you heat things electrically you still generate waste heat. Think electrical stove and its bigger industrial counterparts.
