Doesn't Barry know how to look up *anything*? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_water_heater http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/home/appliances/waterheaters.html http://tinyurl.com/2y2yar <snip> > EVERYWHERE in Europe they use these "on demand" hot water > heaters, and they work just great, and they save a shitload > of energy. > > So WHY have Americans not figured this out? As with practically everything Barry chooses to preach to us about, things are not quite so simple as he would like us to believe. In some cases, tankless heaters save energy. In others, they don't. See the two URLs above for advantages and disadvantages of tankless heaters, including energy use.
