500 MW GE turbines claim 64% efficiency, and one can use the wasted heat for district heating. If we have to burn something then using these turbines seems to be the best option, running 2-3 electric cars for the emissions of one. And probably 3000 e-bikes. Shouldn't you compete in this range of efficiency?
