    Good ideas! The City is currently doing a feasibility assessment of connecting a micro-turbine to the City’s water system. If the feasibility is positive, it will be considered in the City’s capital budget for implementation.

    Why not just apply the same principal to Vancouver's already exiting storm drains. Individual buildings would require way more resources to connect to electrical and individual generators. You could even build a reservoir within the storm drain systems that lets out over time.

    You are all crying out on this, but why? When was the last time you actually smelled wood smoke in the city? There's more important stuff to deal with.

    I like my wood burning fireplace. My apartment is not well linked with the building's heating sensors and wood burning is actually carbon neutral.

    As for Asthma and air quality concerns, I've been an asthmatic all my life. Never a problem with wood smoke, unless your uneducated enough to burn arsenic treated woods. Bad air quality living situations for me have been linked to heavy petroleum burning (automotive), chemicals used in public pools, and smokes from tobacco and marijuana.
