EPA and DoE studies say we could cut greenhouse pollution by 20% that way. that's as much as if we took every car off the road. meanwhile, prices would plummet due to increased efficiency. so why isn't more being done? simple: regulations protect monopoly utilities, making it hard for cheaper, cleaner options to emerge. but these provisions for CHP help overcome those barriers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
