Abstract
Recent regulatory and economic change encourage waste heat use in the northern United States. In this article, the value of that form of energy to growers of greenhouse crops is assessed. It is found that production of rooted floricultural crops is likely to be the dominant activity at facilities supplied with waste heat. Waste heat utilization is unlikely to cause interregional relocation of vegetable production in the U.S.
