Texas engineer finds ERDA programs in place for energy recycling
Dallas consultant Jack Brady redesigned his home to run on solar power and advocates energy recycling to cut U.S. energy use by 25 to 30 percent. He traveled to Washington to discuss his ideas with ERDA official Dr. Maxine Savitz and learned the agency has energy recycling gear in a New York restaurant exhibit, plus studies and grants to support demonstrations. Savitz outlined plans to modify building codes and offer tax credits for firms adding recycling equipment, signaling federal support Brady hoped to align with a hotel-chain project to study recycling with ERDA.
