Thanks -- can you post a link?
We just installed an on-demand water heater.
It's more expensive up front, but much more efficient. The exhaust is cool enough to use PVC pipe.
And, it lasts at least twice as long as a tank-style water heater (20+ years).
Not just the third world.
The island of Kauai in Hawaii is powered by diesel generators. They have some alternative energy, but not enough to even make a small dent.
They bring the diesel by barge to Port Allen.
