I'm associated with a company called Recycled Energy Development (recycled-energy.com), which converts manufacturers' waste heat into electricity and steam. That means efficiency -- and the result is less pollution and lower energy costs. There's more potential in this than almost anyone realizes. The only thing inhibiting it is regulation designed to protect the utilities, which want to sell as much power as possible.

But the proposals he made yesterday, which in 2001 could have been a starting point for negotiations with advocates of stronger action in Congress, are now too belated and too weak to be more than a historical footnote. All three remaining presidential candidates are committed to much more stringent, mandatory reductions in carbon dioxide.
