Hi! This is my first posting but anyway, I just want to tell you that I saw many people (including me) playing recycle energy in the wrong way. You cannot get back recycle energy if you discard recycle energy from your hand because on the card it says: If this card is put into your discard pile from play, return it to your hand. And according to the rule book, the cards in your hand, discard pile,and deck is not considered "in play". So, for example, if you decide to trade recycle energy for energy retrival, you won't be able to get back recycle energy. So sorry guys, I might have ruin your stragegy but this is a fact.
