We take too much for granted. Especially the younger generations who have had everything laid at their feet.
I remember when Bill Clinton bragged about America becoming a service economy and away from technology and manufacturing. That was a few years ago.
Unfortunately, we are slowly losing our grip.
Agreed. Well said.
I hope that we can see some expensive lab testing done on contraptions like the following before long (as well as testing on many other systems designs). Probably need better models of organizing and presentation to get it done. [Not my design or effort, BTW, but I am working on a design for a modified drainback solar radiant heating system with more thermal mass, no pressure, lower temperatures,...]
