1.5% is crap!

HRSGs (Heat Recovery Steam Generators) in a Power Generation are about 40% thermally efficient. If you recovery the latent heat in the cooling water for heating, it can reach 70%.

Also, what is the cost of an exhaust system based on a Peltier generator? I expect it will be friggen expensive!
