Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and President Obama - As our new president takes office, front and center are energy issues - especially the dependence on foreign oil. Combined Heat and Power can be driven from many methane sources such as cows and landfill gases. Each kilowatt of power generated from these sources decrease foreign and domestic dependency on gas. Even if natural gas is used for the CHP systems, the combined heat and power (generation of both power and heat recovery) are vastly more efficient than traditional power production plants. One of the thought leaders in this field is A. Reed Hayes, President and CEO of DG Power Systems in

Lewistown, Pennsylvania. Using cow manure to generate power cleans up both a messy ground water pollution problem and recovers methane for power and heat production. Obama will be giving consideration for additional tax credits related to combined heat and power. Give him your support on this issue. What are your thoughts?
