It’s always a true joy and delight to read someone who understands economics. So few conservatives these days do...
Don’t kid yourself. Almost nobody understands economics.
As a bonus, though, I like to put in a pitch for something new that everybody wants but isn’t in wide scale production yet. Thin sheet aerogel insulation.
Aerogel, or “frozen smoke”, has been around since the 1930s, but was brittle and very expensive, until recently, when a way has finally been discovered to make thin, flexible sheets of it at a much lower cost.
Its use as an insulator could save vast amounts of energy and money every year. Refrigerators, freezers, ovens, hot water heaters, and even homes can now have their energy bills slashed.
They have already tried putting it in garments and boots, but outside of Arctic conditions it is too efficient. A sauna in a blizzard.
First call for production sheet aerogel is going to NASA, as they want it to line satellites and space probes, and the demand is already huge once they can increase production volume. It can handle temperatures from -200°C to +635°C.
Aktarus Group is already producing the retail version.
