   I've heard that for years....but I wonder if this new tech shows up in   
   the market place.   
      
   I don't follow this industry, but I suspect "same old way" is done   
   over and over...OR...new tech prices are thru the roof when buying.   
      
   Like in HVAC systems, you pay more for units that "save" you   
   more...even when production costs are peanuts between models.   
      
   95% efficient furnace may be a better deal than a 99% one...for   
   example....in most insulated homes.
