You're right, 62% of the energy burnt at an electrical power plant is lost as heat. Some standby electrical generating plants lose as much as energy as an automobile engine, 68% to 72%, when they're called on to produce electricity! Steady advances in electrical Co-generation plants have reduced this 62% to 70% energy loss to around 20% . . . . . . but utility companies are still fighting the introduction of electrical co-generation plants with all their political might. I had no idea, Wow. This 2008 article from Forbes describes the utility opposition to electrical Co-generation, but isn't very clear about why they're opposed to the energy savings. forbes.com
