Okay, I just got back, and immediately went to google the item.
I dunno.
A tankless water heater seems like a lot of trouble, more trouble than just having an ordinary water heater.
The thing that gets me is that the wormy primitive doesn't see there's a bigger, more important, more expensive, problem here, than just what it costs for hot water.
Those electric bills are outrageous; perhaps the wormy primitive should sit down and contemplate why.
In Lincoln, Omaha, and out here in the Sandhills of Nebraska, I've never had an electric bill higher than $40 a month.
Of course, one has to discount for that the stove, hot water heater, and furnace are natural gas, not electric (although I'd prefer they be electric; safer).
And one has to discount for that franksolich is a single person, and a person without the decadently materialistic "needs" of the primitives, who would probably use electrically-heated toilet tissue if it were on the market.
But even considering all that, the wormy primitive is paying a Hell of a lot of money.
As said already, the wormy primitive should sit down and contemplate why that is.
The wormy primitive lives in a blue state, which automatically implies corruption, overregulation, and really strigent "environmental" controls.
The wormy primitive isn't only paying for electricity, but those things, too.
Utility companies in blue states are compelled to bribe politicians, subject themselves to unnecessary regulations, and limit themselves by harsh "environmental" rules.
Of course, the utility companies don't pay those bribes, &c., themselves; as with any other enterprise, it is the ultimate customer who pays all expenses of a product, even the under-the-table ones.
It could very well be the wormy primitive's paying for a governor's or congressman's new digs, through the higher electric bill.
My heart goes out to the decent and civilized people in blue states overburdened with high electric bills, but I wouldn't give a shit if primitives' own electric bills went up ten, a hundred, times more. After all, the primitives vote for politicians who create, and profit from, corruption. I hope the primitives--but not decent and civilized people--have to pay monstrously large bills, and the sooner the better.
But alas, one can't figure out how to separate the electricity used by decent and civilized people, and used by primitives, so that's just a pipe-dream.
