Turtle refrigerators are 75% more efficient now because of regulations,
so it works. Competition keeps prices down. Polution equipment on cars
works to, from regulations. And regulations keep food safe, go to
Mexico where seafood is kept on a uncooled table in hot sun, and produce
is watered with sewage and meat is sold unrefrigerated, yes ive seen it
and got seafood poisoning there. Dont take so much for granted we have
it good here and outlawing 80% units would be a good idea, competition
would bring down prices just like it has done with electronics.


This is Turtle.

Have the Government tell manufactor of gas furnaces that they can't sell any
furnace that is less than 93%AFUE and you will cut out 1/2 the customers that
would burn gas as a fuel and switch to electric furnaces which can't be improved
any. Then you would have to put a tax on electric furnaces to raise the price of
them up to the 93% furnaces to stop them from usaing electric hogs on effency
and use more energy and they will not buy them either. Then they will all stop
buying central air systems and go back to panel ray heaters. Then you will have
the rich people having central heat and the regular Joe using panel ray heaters.

When the Government steps into a industry the drive the prices to the moon. Back
in about the early 1990's when the government stepped in and said that 80% AFUE
was the lowest rating that could be sold. At this time the average gas furnace
80K BTU 71% AFUE cost me about $300.00 . Then after the 80% mandate come into
effect this same furnace with a 80% rating cost me over $500.00. Now take to day
and tell everybody you have to buy the 93+% AFUE verses the 80% AFUE. If the
furnace runs about $600.00 you will be telling the public that the $600.00
furnace is no good and you will be paing $1,000.00 for it now because the
Government thinks you need to save 13% more on gas to save some money on your
gas bill.

Like I said before when the Government steps into a industry, The prices go to
the Moon.
