Recycling waste heat saving companies money
NPR: With rising fuel prices taking a bigger bite out of the profits of the nation's manufacturers, Tom Casten, the owner of Recycled Energy, says many of them could save a lot of money, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by capturing that waste heat and recycling it to produce power.

I'm associated with Recycled Energy Development, the company that's featured in this NPR piece. Thanks for posting this. One key point that's not mentioned in the story: 69% of our nation's greenhouse emissions come from the production of power and heat, while only 19% come from cars and light trucks. That means we'll get MUCH more out of improving the efficiency of power generation than we will out of increasing gas mileage. It's time to change the national conversation.
