Pipes are used in my town, Oslo, Norway. However, I am sorry to tell
that Norway have no nuclear plants. The piping system is quite new.
Our environuts think that the energy comes from the burning of
268.253.000 kg of waste, but that is only half the truth, also
31.000.000 kg of oil is bunrned each year to supply hot water via
underground pipes to 20 000 homes.
Electricity is very cheap in Norway; this underground piping system is
our enormous cost of having a lot of environuts. I see a bright future
when we have no oil and fewer environuts. Then the energy will come
from nuclear and a little waste.

 "I hope that it is not too late for the world to emulate France and
  make nuclear power our principal source of energy. There is at
  present no other safe, practical and economic substitute for the
  dangerous practice of burning carbon fuels."  James Lovelock
