Russians massively strike Ukrainian infrastructure

[midnight rambler]

In Russia and most if not all of the former Soviet republics every building in an entire town or city has hot water for domestic use and heated water for all building heating coming from a central plant. That's right, one single central heating plant for one entire city. These are called combined heat and power plants. If these central plants furnishing hot water for space heating of buildings is inoperative during winter a lot of Ukrainians will be literally freezing to death.

The city of Copenhagen Denmark has a central hot water heating plant like that. I don't think it heats the entire Zealand island.

I visited a former Soviet republic 20 years ago, it was in May and in May they shut down the central heating plant to service it. So unless you have a water heater in your home or apartment you get to take cold showers in May while the central heating plant is serviced. The entire city was on the central heating plant for water heating and space heating, it's how the Soviets did things.

Old down town Boise is heated by geo thermal . There is a line that goes into buildings - homes and businesses that heats using an old style radiator .

The folks I was visiting didn't have a water heater in their apartment so they all came over to my apartment to take hot showers.

Most old Detroit city was heated with steam. I remember playing with the radiator til I got burned pretty good. Lesson learned lol. Paint chips I guess were pretty good too but I didn't try.
