EPA and DOE studies suggest that there's enough recoverable waste (mainly heat) at manufacturing and power plants to generate 40% of our power and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. Disclosure: I'm associated with Recycled Energy Development so I'm not exactly unbiased here. But the reason I'm involved is the massive potential. We should be doing much more of this.
