Then again, I'm biased: I'm associated with Recycled Energy Development, a company that does precisely this kind of work and therefore stands to benefit from the new incentives. However, I'm involved because of the massive opportunity. Studies done for the EPA and DOE suggest these techniques could slash U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. That's as much as if we took every passenger vehicle off the road. Meanwhile, energy costs would fall due to increased efficiency. We should be doing much more of this, and the new incentives are a good start.
