Implementing an all encompassing, well distributed, renewables program will be the only method of assuring the optimum methods of reducing fossil fuel use, reducing carbon emissions and creating a sustainable society dependent on the prudent use of renewable resources.

We must look at total, combined solutions rather than focusing on a few potentials at the risk of excluding better solutions.

We must:

• Adopt systems that are used elsewhere
• Home central heating
• Commercial central heating
• District heating - to replace or assist coal firing
• Power production - co generation/co-firing
• Adsorption chillers for central cooling

Note: Europe sells approximately 11 million tons of wood pellets each year- USA sells approximately 1.5 million tons. Europe utilizes central heating and cooling with pellets.

• Included thermal energy in all RPS Renewable Portfolio Standards
• Provide the means for a nationally traded carbon credit industry
• Localized energy creation and consumption with distributed energy
