A lot of those devices pay for themselves. For instance, converting from a old HVAC system to a new high efficiency one will save $900.00 a year in utilities.
Hey, I believe in capitalism baby. If the device can save $900 a year, there is a market. People like to save, especially on utilities. And capitalists LOVE to save on utilities because that helps the bottom line, you see.
A friend of mine up north worked out an independent energy system. It totally allows you to live off the grid and cost less than ($5k per 1000sf.) It uses solar, wind and biofuel. Provides air and heat system, hot water system, standard electric box and outlets in every room and interior/exterior lighting. He sold the crap out of these things until the State banned living off the grid.
Wonderful.
BUt you know what, Capitalism isn't a holy system. Sometimes you just do things because they are the right thing to do, even if you don't get a personal gain out of it.
really, you found this out AFTER you made all yours and is now retired? capitalism was good to you then I bet
as if we haven't been doing the right things on OUR OWN. No, we need this government to PUNISH us some more
