5 DIY Sand Battery Air Heaters! with heating elements! all models heat up quickly and radiate heat for hours. simple to make. made with steel food cans, sand...
I know that it was a big part of new development under Stalin after the war, but it's incredibly uncommon in the US so the only real exposure to it I've had is through reading communist literature on development.
So I'm probably biased into thinking it was more common in the USSR than other places.
I think bigger US cities have had it in the past, but where I'm from the past (and present) is either oil/wood or heat pump.
Steam is still distributed in New York. It’s why the Gotham manhole vented steam aesthetic can still be seen in-person: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_steam_system
Definitely not the most efficient heating. Just lots of old construction in this city.
having a hard time contemplating this. imagining a time in the US when something like heating was collectivized instead of being left to the individual to manage. sounds like a pretty big project to design and implement.

Alright, interesting!
Do you have it where you live?
Nope
You're better at opsecc than me lol, if a fed looked through my post history they'd find my in seconds
If I cared about opsec I wouldn't have responded... Actually you could probably figure out the city I live in within an hour. Don't do that, though.

Oh damn, I'm obviously not from NYC lol. Didn't know how extensive the district heating system was there.
