Wake up North America

Why don't we invent stuff like this? A heat pump that supplies domestic hot
water to commercial buildings at 180*f all day long with no boiler! The
refrigerant....Carbon Dioxide. This technology was being used here in the
1930's and 40's.

Food chain: Men shoot it, women cook and clean it, kids eat
it.

Technology chain: Americans invent it. Chinese steal the
technology and mass produce it. Germans improve it. Sweedish
buy a couple hundred thousand, to give to thier citizens
"for free". Finally the Americans end up buying the Made in
Pakistan version, cause it's about as cheap as the Walmart
version.

Don't thank me. It's my job. I'm a professional.

The plumber's idea was better.

Let's see...$25.00 or $12,000.00 ? Hmmmmm.
After the shower room was re-done, you come back
and (slaps forehead) find the broken valve.

Cha-Ching!
