Waste heat to power is one of the main emphasis of practical energy policy. When Congress wears an ideological straightjacket, it doesn't care about results. It just cares about ideological purity. Environmentalism is full of ideological purists who could not care less about real world results. Good point. Waste heat to power is one of the main emphasis of practical energy policy.

The theory that 'waste is OK since we own it anyway' and the sad idea that 'we can do things any way we want because no one else can do it' do not meet the Made in China/India/Russia acid test! This deepening depression will temper American lifestyles, philosophies and curriculum so as to prevent this reckless 'damn the guns', cowboy diplomacy, new-world 'land of plenty' attitude as displayed by Pres. Bush, to a more ecologically conscientious , good neighbor, non-combative, and socially responsible tone. The engineers can then use good engineering principles to resolve problems in the best fashion possible and with realistic criteria. Once forced by the circumstances of the world,to face facts, Americans will reach even greater heights and dominate the 21st Century American engineering schools have been hi-jacked by ‘bigger is better’ resource baron stockholders’ attitudes.

It's good to see that we're looking into harvesting some of that energy that would otherwise be lost from our current processes, even though we're being a little sluggish with implementation. Wow, 200,000MW down the drain. Interesting stuff.
