The CH and electricity peaks coincide.

Unfortunately they don't, they are an hour or two apart. You also
haven't explained how generating 100w/hr for a few months of the year
is going to affect infrastructure requirements?

The Holy Grail as far as greenwashers are concerned is dispersed
generation (no matter how ineffective). If you can get rid of the
National Grid you make Nuclear power generation impractical which is
their primary aim.

Which is quite a good idea.

Only if you are a neo-Luddite. The Microgen believers are the same
ones who were promoting a windmill on every roof a year or so back.
