I have viewed a few other posts you have made. I am not sure what you are promoting or selling but to me the key word in your video is" bubble". I don't know if you need to live this way or if you have to. If you need to live this way I am sorry for you; If you choose to live this way, you are in MYO either a fool or selling something.

By doing this, I saved about $600. People in larger homes might save thousands of dollars.

Further, did you know that incandescent bulbs (http://www.richsoil.com/CFL-fluorescent-light-bulbs.jsp) are to be banned? And yet, the amount of energy that would be saved (http://www.richsoil.com/electric-heat.jsp) with a fluorescent is a hundred times less than what appears in this video.

How do feel about war? I think that if we cut all energy usage by 20%, one of the reasons for war would be dried up. Plus, discussions about what sort of new power plant to build would be moot.

A limited use. Handy for those sitting jobs.
Most people have to move around to work.
Also THINGS in the home need heated.
The tropical house plants would look a little brown it they had to stay at 50 degrees F.

For that workstation it would work well. In small room that would be ideal.

All issues can be mitigated. The key is that this is just the beginning.
