Garbage wanted
 Interesting article here about the effect recycling is having on district-heating plants that burn garbage as the fuel of choice. I love the part where they talk about the heat content of plastics. Anyone who has ever had a few beers around a campfire knows all about that. |

And algae!
 Subscriber, Greg Durgin, who sends best wishes from Germany, shared this article with me. Talk about taking a lemon and turning it into lemonade. Well, not exactly a lemon. A bit more icky than that, but you'll get it once you read the story. Thanks, Greg! |

Something new in The Library
 Bern Nagengast is ASHRAE's finest historian and the caretaker of an amazing amount of old books and trade journals. Over the years, he has helped me to understand so many nuances of this business and I am forever grateful to him. Bern sent me this article about turn-of-the-century steam traps recently and I wanted to share it with you. Thanks, Bern! |
