This is the dichotomy of private ownership of public utilities.

I rather liked your earlier comment along the line of; in order to break
even in an environment which squeezes out the small but innovative
operations, you would need to reuse/sell any excess heat generated.

On a side note, I believe there was a steam plant downtown which serviced
several commercial buildings for heating at one time. I think I also read
about a deep water shared cooling project here in the city but I haven't
heard anything lately.

I guess my point is that; blending technologies happens over time and
usually over the objections of the for profit status quo.
