I wanted to check in with you and see if parts of it are still accurate, particularly the parts about going forward. Could you help? Below is the report and the elements I'd like to pull from it. https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/201507/documents/combined heat and power a clean energy solution.pdf "CHP currently represents approximately 8 percent of U.S. generating capacity compared to over 30 percent in countries such as Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands.
