	Not without filtration and conditioning apparatus and by then
	it's not direct. I can't begin to count the Rube Goldberg
	methods of conditioning I've seen,  most involving water
	cooling and lots of waste. Which just seems really odd to me,
	given electronics aversion to the stuff. The good ones I've seen
	recycle the heat when possible, without wasting other
	resources. Heat pumps are really good at this, I have one at
	home.
