seems just a crazy concept, cloaked in gobbledygook. God only knows what they
thought of it at the ACEEE forum. But no surprise, after all, Hydro Quebec are
the guys that brought you this</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

tried to look further at the ACEEE forum, but found no debate or comment.

20 of the Ppt is particularly suss, and I suspect that this is all just a
vehicle for the Giant company to sell more gear with a minor benfit for Hydro,
who don't see actually thermselves as having a serious problem anyway. If
Hydro Quebec did have a problem they need to take seriously, they would
surely have off-peak residential tariffs. It could be that they
are like the old Hydro Electric Commission in Tasmania who, up to the 1970s,
were not that seriously into the business of producing electricity. Their main
line of business was building dams.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

believe the water usage is very different from local patterns. I guess the
weather has a lot to do with that. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
