When I first started noticing that government was starting to interfere with power, I lived in Garland, Texas. The city owns the power company. BAD IDEA.

First thing I did was to go through the house and kill the inductive loads or change the starters for soft-start and measured the PF of everything.

I looked at every device that consumed electricity in the house. I have a spiral notebook full of notes.

We achieved 40% savings by upgrading/deleting crap that was designed in the 1950s.

I have carried that to an extreme, perhaps, as NASCAR has done, but tried to do it at low cost, and NO change in my expected lifestyle. When I want to read, I don't want dim light. When I want a computer, I don't want 30 bogo-mips.

I could preach about energy and stewardship all day long. ;)

I use paint made by the people who won the "best spin-off" award from NASA. It's cheap (used to be about $12 for enough for a gallon of paint)... Anyhow, it's the same stuff used on the tiles of our space crafts - diluted down. If you're into saving energy - this will do it for heating and cooling.

* Technology. The original NASA Spinoff product...and the only one developed by a former Space Program employee. Not another "me too" provider of fly ash or recycled glass.

* Solutions. We have formulated and developed a full line of coatings for many different applications from residential, to commercial, to industrial....and even "project specific" coatings. Not a work from home operation or website entity that merely changes labels on someone else's product and sells it for all types of applications. If that was possible...your local paint store would have only 1 can on the shelf! * Innovation. Because we manufacture our products...at our own facility... we are constantly in touch with the latest advances in the industry. This allows us the opportunity to bring to market the most advanced technology available in both the ceramics and coatings sciences.

http://www.hytechsales.com/ Hy-Tech insulating paint products are based upon our exclusive blend of insulating ceramic microspheres or "vacuum beads", that are designed specifically for mixing into paints, coatings and composites to form a tight interlocking matrix which reduces conductive heat through the painted surface. The ceramic barrier reflects up to 90% of the heat back to the source.
