Man, this is the last straw! Every time I get comfortable with an infrastructure, someone goes and _revolutionizes_ it for my 'benefit'. Now I'm going to have to install a whole bunch of new plumbing, and the expense will probably never be amortized by the value of the benefits. Not only that, but I bet there will be massive ecological damage as well. How can individual thermal power sources ever compete with the economies of scale of centralized generation and inexpensive distribution of electricity. I bet some people will even fall into the use of coal or wood to power their boilers. I think I'm just not going to switch to steam. ..oh, /stream/ ? ........... nevermind.
