Comment | In 1985 I introduced to a leading manufacturer of Commercial cooking Equipment a simple technology to STOP the wastage of Natural Gas, caused by the habit of the kitchen staff of commercial kitchens leaving the burners ON running IDLE. On a national bases this will produce approximately 138,000,000 Tons of CO2 production, EVERY YEAR The heat produced from the production of the 138,000,000 Tons of CO2 will cause and additional 278,000,000 Tons of CO2 being produced through Air Conditioning load. Together this adds up to 416,000,000 Tons of CO2 production-> EVERY YEAR-> ALMOST TWICE THE REDUCTION OF THE KYOTO REQUIREMENTS--> The end users save money the Commercial Range manufacturers make money. All parties involved will make money from a simple technology to shut down idle burners. It will also demonstrate that there are many such ways of reducing energy and preventing pollution, even before we look at curtailing energy that is being put to good use. The President of Vulcan Hart and the CEO of Garland who claim to be the biggest Commercial Range Manufacturers in the world, wanted to come out with this technology together. Their engineering department went against their President in Vulcan Harts case and the CEO of Garland, even after a preliminary production Heavy Duty Two Burner Counter Top Unit built by me and was presented to the President of Vulcan Hart. I feel that it is my responsibility to do what I can to help turn back Global Warming. This technology or a similar technology will help do that. This technology was under funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) and I tried to continue the project by taking on debt, until I could not afford to continue. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE DOE PROJECT WAS TO REBUILD THE ORIGINAL TWO BURNER UNIT AND BUILD A HEAVY DUTY SIX BURNER RANGE. THE TECHNOLOGY WAS TO BE CERTIFIED BY (CSA) AND THEN SENT UP TO THE PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC FOOD TECHNOLOGY KITCHEN FOR A REAL LIFE TESTING IN THEIR RESTAURANT KITCHEN. IF THE SIX BURNER RANGE COMPLETED ALL OF ITS TEST WITHIN THE ENVELOP OF A VIABLE COMMERCIAL COOKING APPLIANCE THEN THAT INFORMATION WOULD HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO INTERESTED PARTIES. THE TWO LEADING RANGE MANUFACTURERS ALREADY KNEW THAT THE SYSTEM WAS VIABLE. THEY ALSO KNEW THAT THE END USERS WANTED TO HAVE BETTER CONTROL OVER THEIR OPEN FACED BURNERS. THE VICE PRESIDENT OF ONE OF THE GIANTS IN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY COMMUNICATED TO THE MANUFACTURERS THEIR DESIRE TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY--> TO THE POINT OF HAVING A MEETING WITH THE HEAD OF SALES. THE MANUFACTURERS DISMISSED THEIR PETITION FOR SUCH A TECHNOLOGY. THIS MEANS THAT IF ARB OR CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION WAS TO FUND THIS TECHNOLOGY OR ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY I ANY FIELD OF ENDEAVER AND IT MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENT AS LAID OUT BY ARB AND OR THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION, THEIR IS A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT THOSE INDUSTRIES THAT THE TECHNOLOGY WOULD HAVE TO BE INCORPORATED INTO WOULD NOT USE THE TECHNOLOGY AND CONTINUE ALONG MANUFACTURING THE SAME OLD POLLUTING PRODUCTS. THE TECHNOLOGY THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED IS DESPERATELY WANTED BY END USERS, HOWEVER WHEN END USERS WANT TO OPEN A NEW KITCHEN THEY HAVE TO BUY WHAT THE MANUFACTURERS MAKE AVAILABLE. TO GO WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT MARKET FORCES WILL DICTATE THAT THE MANUFACTURERS IN THIS CASE AND IN MANY OTHERS THAT YOU HAVE FUNDED OR WILL FUND,--> WILL ADOPT THE NEW TECHNOLOGY IS EXTREMELY MISGUIDED. IF A TECHNOLOGY MEET ALL REQUIREMENT SET OUT BY ARB, OR THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION OR DOE, THEN AFTER A SET PERIOD USED TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURERS AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND THAT PENDING LEGISLATION IS COMING, IF THEY DO NOT ADOPT IT THEN YOU HAVE TO BE COMMITTED TO SIGN THE LEGISLATION MAKING IT MANDATORY THAT A TECHNOLOGY OF SOME TYPE MUST BE ADOPTED THAT WILL PRODUCE THE SAME RESULTS AS THE TECHNOLOGY THAT ANY OF THE ABOVE GROUPS NAMED HAVE FUNDED. GIVING A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME FOR ADOPTION OF THE POLLUTING AND OR ENERGY REDUCING TECHNOLOGY. IN 1985 GIVEN TWO YEARS FOR DEVELOPMENT 1987 THE UNITED STATES COULD HAVE STARTED ON A SIMPLE ROAD THAT LONG BEFORE NOW WOULD HAVE REDUCED THE CO2 PRODUCTION IN THIS COUNTRY BY 400,000,000 TONS, EVERY YEAR PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I HAVE SPENT MOST OF THE YEARS SINCE 1985 WORKING TO GET THIS TECHNOLOGY INTO THE MARKET PLACE -->IT IS TIME YOU DID YOUR PART.
