I hear you on that, solar water heating is so easy. I used to live on my boat , the marina had black piping on the dock , in the summer I had to run the water a good five minutes to get it cool enough to shower with, I'm all for going solar for lots of things, a water tank in your attic would supply almost all your normal warm water for a good 6 months a year, and if plumbed properly could serve as a sprinkler system pretty easily too. If the epa wanted to really help the earth they would get after the congressmen who let companies bring in chinese stuff made the most polluting way possible. it is very easy for china to ship us toxic waste by powdering it and putting it in the plastic stuff we buy. with the worsening economy though and the only jobs in sales selling this junk we are in trouble, I've been trying to find American or at least japanese wheel bearings for the escort and it hasnt been easy .
