Nice shout out to Tom Casten about waste heat and energy recycling. I'm associated with his company, Recycled Energy Development, and this efficiency method has absolutely staggering potential. EPA and DOE estimates suggest that energy recycling could cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. That's as much as if we pulled every passenger vehicle from the road. The main obstacle is the set of regulations that protect electric utilities and stifle competition. We should be doing a lot more on this front.
