Thank you to you and your friends - conservation is a worthy measure - Glad you enjoyed the video - I'm requesting you as a friend - hope you accept!

Solar water heater seems fine in the more moderate climates. However, in Northern areas, demand (tankless) would seem to work best. Why heat the whole tank for hours and hours and only use it a couple hours a day.

I had tankless in Panama for 3 years. It is always hot, never runs out, and uses energy only when you want it to.

The most immediate thing at the moment is to get the attention of the morons in charge. Promote the ideas in a way they think they can utilize to their benefit. Of course, the biggest moron closed the shop and sent everybody home so that wouldn't happen.

Starting a phone in to Congress and the Senate (hopefully jamming the switchboard) would get get their attention. We need to move the listing of individual phonenumbers from Numbers USA to this website to enable large numbers of calls/messages. There is also a central number where calls can be directed.

JAMMINGTHE SWITCHBOARD WILL GET AIRTIME ON NEWS PROGRAMS. ATTENTION IS GOOD.

Lots of people are still wrapped around the axle. Many people have to spend a little time 'spinning' before they can make forward progress. A few can just 'move out' without wasting that time. Overall we should start seeing some movement soon.

Politicians often waste time and our money on things that the 'people at large' see as beneficial even though they are superficial and on a deeper look you will see how wasteful.

For example, opening Petroleum Reserves to lower daily pump price. Very shortsighted. No longterm (not even midterm) benefit. Petroleum reserves are to support our military defense. More than ever, we need to preserve them. Planes don't fly on peanut oil. Military vehicles don't run on them either. Believe it or not, personal vehicles and pump prices are way down the list of priorities.

Just noticed your heatpump info. I installed one last year in NJ. My electric is down to about 55-60% of others with the same house in the neighborhood. Will replace hot water heater with on-demand when the time comes.

Thanks for the tips on a solar water heaeter ---and if you go to the discussion I wrote a long piece suggesting that you either put your design on paper and sell it to interested parties for $35 or whatever you think is right, or that you find a partner (no not me) and go into business with the system (with asafety device at that sensistive point) at least in Hawaii where they just passed a law that ALL new homes in Hawaii starting 2010 will HAVE TO HAVE solar water heating. Good opportunity there.

Need more guys like you on "The Plan" and on the discussion. Too many mouths without brains engaged are slowing progress and momentum.

Thanks

I really liked your 'sane answer' but I'm trying to avoid promoting the insane question discussion.

Okay, I put it in this area: http://push.pickensplan.com/forum/topic/show?id=2187034%3ATopic%3A475504
