Much Light, Little Heat Efficiency
Energy efficiency in the U.S. is much light and little heat — literally. Government policy pays a great deal of attention to saving electricity, but focuses little on the thermal energy we waste. “Policy is electricity-centric in the U.S. Unless you are making kilowatts, the most efficient investments are off the radar,” sa

Science Cafe on Wednesday: Is burning wood for energy really a good idea?
Burning wood to keep warm is so 19th century. That’s why it has a much more interesting name for the 21st century. “We are tailor-made for an increase in biomass thermal,” said Scott Nichols, head of a Lyme company called Tarm USA that has been selling wood-burning stoves and boilers since the oil shock of the 1970s. That’s “biomass” as in a mass of biological stuff and “thermal” as in heat.
