On the even larger scale why use any extra energy to dry clothes. A

I have to agree. We have a combi boiler in the utility room where the
washer and (little used) dryer are. In summer clothes can dry
outside, and in winter when the combi is more active it heats the air
in the utility - we've got one of those pulley clothes driers which
therefore makes the use of all of this hot air and dries the clothes
in no time at all.
