We heat homes, smelt ore, many industrial things.

We heat homes by heating water and putting the hot water through pipes into wall mounted iron tanks so that the water cools down again...

Not everyone uses radiators. My system is a forced air furnace.

We smelting water tonight?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not only water as per the original comment. You need heat to smelt ore and do any number of industrial things to progress society.

But then you quench that ore in water! It's just heating water with extra steps!
