Additions:
Using parabolic trough, solar bowl or flat solar panels heat is captured from the sun. The cost per captured Watt varies but in bulk it hovers around 0.1 Euro per installed Watt. If this is done in places where the installation is most conveniently integrated into the lay of the houses the option of permanent self sustaining neighborhood solar emerges. For example unused flat roofs can harbor parabolic trough collectors for several houses, colletiors can be mounted on south facing side walls with lots of sun exposure. A church tower may be an ideal place to collect heat for the church and the people in the houses around it.

Additions:
====Compressed Air====
Compressed air is a less complicatec alternative for steam and can be turned into work and electricity using existing engines and microturbines. It might be transported trough the gas tubes already in place. It can be generated using solar steam and stored in simpel pressure tanks.

Additions:
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump Heat pump technology]] for use with 'waste' heat has yet to become realistically priced. It is now priced in accordance with the perception it is a new technology, but this is complete nonsense, your refrigerator is a heat pump and there are probably billions of those on Earth. The COP that is touted as an important factor in these systems loses that importance if one considers the solar energy is free. What is needed is an accurate assesment of what the cost of the installation is and what the yield in terms of delivered heat is, but keeping in mind going forward the only cost will be maintenance.
====Some electricity====
There are now reasonably priced steam generators. These can be used with vacuum tube collectors (that easily go over 150 degrees Celsius. Some electricity is needed for powering appliances and driving the heat pumps (although steam driven heat pumps would eventually become available). Photovoltaic panels would also be interesting as their capacity would likely be used up completely at all times. For electircal storage one could look at sharing with other neighborhoods, feeding back to the grid or using hydrogen fuel cells or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_battery flow batteries]].

One can store thermal energy (heat) as such or as cold (which is more efficient). Central storage of heat is not uncommon, and many cities have city central heating (like [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_steam_system New York]]. These installations are common technology (with possible improvements, true). This means one might want to use a basement, or use [[http://www.isaac.supsi.ch/isaac/pubblicazioni/Geotermia%20-%20Pompe%20di%20calore/Lecture%20notes/(2002)%20Geothermal%20energy%20and%20heat%20storage%20.%20Lecture%20notes/e-notes%20de%20cours%20-%20ch%205.pdf ground storage]].
