Bill, We always have to think " BIG PICTURE/ LARGE SCALE " A device that saves or creates energy in a single home is great for that particular homeowner, but that same device in a billion homes would cause such a supply chain explosion that nothing would be accomplished energywise at all. Sad fact a ...
