Recycling Energy

Tom Casten wants you to know that most power plants today waste two-thirds of their output. Mostly, it's the heat, generated in the plant that goes up the stack or the cooling tower and into the air.

And doing that, Casten says, is tough because of old rules meant to protect electric utilities.
