HOW BIG IS A BLOOM BOX? A: BIGGER THAN A BREADBOX AND A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE.

Bloom Energy is starting to produce a FUEL CELL that apparently is about the size of a refrigerator that can power a house. Like a lot of newly publicized technology it's been around for a while but with the PR machine in play 60 minutes is on the Story...

Watch CBS News Videos Online

I found a press releases on Media Newswire...

Bloom Energy Set To Announce Fuel Cell Boxes News Wednesday

• Developed By NASA Scientist as a scalable energy source
• Millions of Dollars Invested
• Eight Years of Development
• 1 LARGE UNIT can power 100 homes and cost 700-800K

Regardless of price this is way cool and a good sign for the GREEN INDUSTRY IN GENERAL. As the current climate is FINALLY pro GREEN this should excite the market and help all Green Products as they develop.

The No More Geysers and Kamatoy Media Group team will be attending GREEN CALIFORNIA which should be a hotbed for Green products. This is an exciting story and makes me pretty excited to attend the GREEN CA Show.

LADWP Customers Deliver Historic Water Savings During 
First Five Months of Mandatory Water Conservation

17.6 Billion Gallons of Water Saved

Thus proving that much of water conservation can be controlled with an integrated approach. This in tandem with new devices coming to the marketplace like No More Geysers Riser and H2orb simply means that we are on the right track. Here is a table from the above press release...

During the first five months of mandatory water conservation,single-family residential water customers used 23.2% less water when compared to the same time period in 2007, when Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa first called upon Angelenos to conserve water.  Results for all customer classes are as follows:

Customer Sector	Water Savings vs. Base Year
Single-Family Residential	23.2%
Multi-Family Residential	11.7%
Commercial	15.2%
Industrial	2.9%
Governmental	28.8%

 

We look forward to more noted improvements like this and once again Congratulations LA water and Power.

H2ouse.org: Learn to be Water Efficient. (But where is No More Geysers?)

H2ouse.org has a very cool water animation, as the page opens it makes me thirsty. We hope to have the No More Geysers Riser on this website fairly soon.

This website will allow you to look at a blueprint of a home and see how you can save water in your household. After writing on this blog for several months now I can tell you that these simple steps can have a huge cumulative water saving effect.

I think that H2ouse.org has the right idea. Let's just hope the message is heard sooner rather than later.

"This website was developed by the California Urban Water Conservation Council under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Council is a consensus-based partnership of over 315 urban water suppliers, public advocacy organizations, and other interested parties concerned with water supply and conservation of natural resources in California. The Council was created to oversee the 1991 Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California, which sets forth Best Management Practices for the efficient use of water in urban areas in the state. The website address is www.cuwcc.org. " - From H2ouse.org

"No More Geysers" front page on the High Desert Daily Press

San Bernadino,CA- No Geyers makes the front page of the High Desert Daily Press. While attending the, "High Desert Home and Recreation Lifestyle Show" on Friday Scott Armstrong is shown here talking to an interested party.

"When we got to the show we decided to talk to the 4 water districts in attendance. We walked into the water conservation building and prominently displayed was the No More Geysers Riser. ", says Chris Eader.

Apparently someone had attended a previous industry trade show and grabbed a sample and they had even gone so far as to make 100 copies of the flyer.

So while this is the first retail show attended we picked up strong media coverage, contacts and interested parties.

The No More Geysers Riser a highly effective water saving device that retrofits into an existing sprinkler system. When a sprinkler head is broken the riser will shut off the flow of water at the break maintaining the integrity of the system stopping the typical geysers and saving thousands of gallons of water. Got Geysers? don't want them call 619-437-9222.
