I imagine on another note that if he Cap and Tax legislation gets through on any sort of relation to what is now concieved that all the heat generating recycling processes will have to be killed off due to carbon emmission standards.
I was talking to a fellow involved in cement making operations where they “clinker” the raw material to make cement. Where most of these operations have been concerned with fuel usage and certain pollutants in what they have built new in the last two decades the carbon standards are basically going to be unachievable for those idustries — no modifications will get them outside the limits they are confined to.
If you can’t clinker cement and you can’t fire brick, construction costs are going through the roof and these materials will be made in the third world for import only.
And that makes even less sense, ensuring that it WILL be done. Third world industry is less efficient, more polluting, more inhumane. Transporting a load of bricks halfway around the world is also crazy.
