New Light Technologies on Kitchen Faucets

Recently a lot of faucet companies have come out with some pretty neat tech for their products.  Allowing some visual aids to tell whether the water coming out of your faucet is hot or cold.  For example, Blanco has a stainless-steel Kitchen Faucet LED which emits red for hot water, purple for warm water, and blue when the water is cold.
      Of course the faucet does require two AA batteries for the LED diodes to work.  And of course, they are sold separately.  But if you want your kitchen or bar area to be the new hotness, this kind of faucet will definitely fit the bill.  On the lighter side, it does come with extra long supply hoses so you definitely won't have to take a trip to your local hardware store because your hoses are too short.

Fire breathing kitchen faucet

Fred Mayer is a Vietnam veteran who says he he can poach an egg and clean his dishes at the same time.  He says that a couple of years ago the well that supplies water to his house in Candor, N.Y., started becoming polluted with natural gas.  Now he can hold a lighter up to his running water in the kitchen and flashes of fire spew from the faucet.

Now that may seem really awesome, but experts say that if the faucet emits too much natural gas, he could have a slight explosion problem. Mayer suspects that drilling by the energy company, Fortuna Energy Inc. is at fault, but state environmental officials say this gas is o-natural, created in the ground below Mayer's house.

Fortuna Energy Inc. began drilling in Tioga County in late 2003

Florida stumbles over its own feet with water conservation and energy efficiency

Lee County in Florida is facing a common problem with many other states when it comes to implementing with use of renewal resources along side our current use of fossil fuels.  Since some states only have one or two power companies, these companies have to be heavily regulated.  To stop these companies from having geo-isolated monopolies over their regions, the cost of energy is set at a settled upon price.

Since the energy company’s revenues are heavily regulated, they don’t have much room to invest in new technologies.  One logical idea to this problem is creating cheaper to generate power in more efficient ways. Eric Draper of Autobon says “Consumers know that it is not the rate per kilowatt that matters. It's the cost of the kilowatts used. If electricity can be generated with renewable sources and used more efficiently, bills will come down now and in the future.”
