I'm associated with Recycled Energy Development, a company that does combined heat & power projects of the kind that BofA just installed. I'm not well versed enough on these other issues to judge the company's work overall, but recycling energy -- generating power and then using the excess heat to warm the building and create still more power -- is absolutely critical to the success of any efforts to reduce global warming. So I commend them for that. Sarah, good to see you again online.
