Turning Off the Heat
Turning Off the Heat: Carbon dioxide emission and its relationship to global warming
is the subject of a raging debate among scientists and world leaders. Federal and state governments have
proposed three actions to decarbonize our economy: put a cap on carbon emissions, place revenue-neutral taxes
on energy, and establish a renewable energy portfolio standard. Casten, an entrepreneur in the field of energy
conversions for 20 years, offers another solution, a variant on the carbon-cap approach specifically targeting
energy producers. (Library Journal)
Author: Thomas R. Casten is an American businessman, author, and activist known for his work on
industrial energy recycling. Since 1977, Casten has founded and managed numerous companies and organizations
associated with combined heat and power, decentralized energy, and waste energy recovery.
