What's insane about it ?

The use of oil ?

Gas-->heat-->steam-->rotation-->electricity-->convey to house--

CONVEY ? to house ? They're fitted IN the house here.

You have power stations in your house? Nice(!), but kinda hot &
noisy, isn't that?

Here we have big, hot, noisy, nasty power plants make the power
somewhere else, then CONVEY it to us through lossy wires, transformers
and stuff.

Do you know it is only some text book claims. I have seen some actual
accountable data; the transmission losses run from 3% to 5%. Wish i
could give you a pointer.

Community scale combined heat and power is the answer. The electricity is
generated nearby so there are few transmission losses and the waste heat that
would normally go up a cooling tower can be used as a valuable thermal resource
for heating homes and offices.

Yet do you hear the greens suggesting this ?

NO, they want stupid over-priced PV solar. Idiots, the lot of them.
