Business idea free for the taking:

Build home or industrial heating furnaces out of slightly out of date computer hardware. Give them away for next to nothing and make the money back by renting the cpu time out.

Electrical home heating is such a waste of energy when you think about it.

Electrical resistance heating is considered one of the most wasteful and least efficient forms of heating.

Heat pumps are four times as efficient and that’s why they’re used…

Isn't this just less efficient electrical heating? Or am I missing something.
