ABSTRACT
It was clear after the discussion that USA is one of the most advanced environmentally conscious countries. There, the lead is taken by the State of California. All the participants and speakers agreed that one of the best ways to improve the environment and to reduce emissions is through increasing efficiency, and one of the best technologies of energy efficiency is cogeneration. In this respect, it may be worth quoting the words of Mrs. Hamrin, in the sense that: 1) there is much much more renewable energy and cogeneration around than was ever thought, in fact the utilities are complaining there is too much 2) they work very well and 3) the private sector is quite interested in being involved because of its high profitability.
