Some numbers to make your head spin
 Subscriber, Ray Frechette, shared this article with me and added this comment. "Now is that a number to get your mind around or what? 106,000,000,000,000,000, divided by 350,000,000 Americans yields roughly 457 million BTUS per American. That is the equivalent of about 3,289 gallons of #2 heating fuel per year per person. That is a lot of Btu! Anyway I thought this was a neat article." And so did I. Thanks, Ray.

Google, Nest, and the Utilities
 How about this one? Sure got me thinking. And don't miss this link within the story. Imagine where all of this is going. Remember just a couple of years ago when people were wondering who the heck would pay hundreds of dollars for a snazzy thermostat? |

Top concerns
 What matters to Brits who are looking for a house? This article tells an interesting story, and one that should grab your attention if you're in the heating business. Houses with efficient heating equipment will be easier to sell in the days ahead, and I'm thinking that, considering the winter we've been having, the same will be true here in the U.S. Heating is really on our minds these days. |

Passive pooch
 Or cat. How about this new pet door for those super-insulated houses? It looks like it's going to set you back a few thousand bucks, which just makes you wonder, doesn't it? Sure makes me wonder. How about just opening the back door? |

Nothing to do with heating
 Unless you count heating poop, that is. Check out the latest development in toilets, courtesy of the fine minds at the University of Colorado. Now that's really hot . . . stuff!

Geothermal continues to grow
 And more and more it's being married to district-heating systems. Take a look at this very preliminary proposal for New London, Connecticut. They're just thinking and talking at this point, but it sure is interesting to listen in. |

Ancient radiant
 I was doing some research on early radiant-heating systems a while ago when I learned about the ondols of China and Korea. Now, one of those ancient systems is causing an argument between those two countries, which I hope they can settle peacefully. Here's the story. And if that caught your interest, click here to learn more about these systems, which are still widely used in rural areas. |
