pstp energy emtech A plant producing electricity, heat and cold is sometimes called trigeneration[7] or more generally polygeneration plant. Cogeneration is a thermodynamically efficient use of fuel. In separate production of electricity, some energy must be rejected as waste heat, but in cogeneration this thermal energy is put to good use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , http://www.rural-energy.eu/en_GB... , http://www.globalmicroturbine.com/Site... , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , Nuclear Power plants can be fitted with steam drains after the high, mid, and/or low pressure turbines to provide heat to a heat system. With a heat system temperature of 95°C it is possible to extract about 10 MW heat for every MW electricity lost. With a temperature of 130°C the gain is slightly smaller, about 7 MW for every MWe lost.[9] History of Heat utilization? 10 -21 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Thomas Page

President Obama's remarks about securing Americas energy future http://www.democrats.org/news... Now, in light of our tight fiscal situation, it’s fair to ask how we’ll pay for all of it. As we debate our national priorities and our budget in Congress, we have to make tough choices. We’ll have to cut what we don’t need to invest in what we do need. Unfortunately, some want to cut these critical investments in clean energy. They want to cut our research and development into new technologies. They’re even shortchanging the resources necessary to promptly issue new permits for offshore drilling. These cuts would eliminate thousands of private sector jobs, terminate scientists and engineers, and end fellowships for researchers, graduate students and other talent we desperately need for the 21st century. - Thomas Page

How Republicans Killed Their Own Pet Oil Pipeline Project “It’s a question of whether we’d rather have the pipeline or the issue,” said one of the GOP aides. Black or white. In the end they chose the issue.http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012... On November 30, Senate Republicans introduced legislation aimed at forcing the Obama administration to approve the Keystone XL pipeline within 60 days, unless the president declares the project is not in the national interest.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 1 -22 sort Shale gas http://www.nytimes.com/2011... This kind of balance is exactly what our political system doesn’t deliver. So far, the Obama administration has done a good job of trying to promote fracking while investigating the downsides. But the general public seems to be largely uninterested in the breakthrough (even though it could have a major impact on the 21st-century economy). The discussion is dominated by vested interests and the extremes. It’s becoming another weapon in the political wars, with Republicans swinging behind fracking and Democrats being pressured to come out against. Especially in the Northeast, the gas companies are demonized as Satan in corporate form.2 -22 NPR On Point pipeline this one? http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012... , 3 -4 http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs... http://www.eia.gov/energye... , 3 -19 http://www.mnn.com/earth-m... ? 11 -9 sort ? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs... isnt-exxon-mobil-or-conoco-phillips-its-the-koch-brothers/ - Thomas Page

In addition to Gateway Pacific, Millennium Bulk Terminals in Longview, Washington, and Ambre Energy's Morrow Pacific Project in Boardman, Oregon remained under consideration.[4] - Thomas Page
