In 1985 I introduced to a leading manufacturer of Commercial
cooking Equipment a simple technology to STOP the wastage of
Natural Gas, caused by the habit of the kitchen staff of commercial
kitchens leaving the burners ON running IDLE.

On a national bases this will produce approximately 138,000,000
Tons of CO2 production, EVERY YEAR

The heat produced from the production of the 138,000,000 Tons of
CO2 will cause and additional 278,000,000 Tons of CO2 being
produced through Air Conditioning load. Together this adds up to
416,000,000 Tons of CO2 production-> EVERY YEAR-> ALMOST TWICE THE
REDUCTION OF THE KYOTO REQUIREMENTS--> The end users save money the
Commercial Range manufacturers make money.  All parties involved
will make money from a simple technology to shut down idle burners.
It will also demonstrate that there are many such ways of reducing
energy and preventing pollution, even before we look at curtailing
energy that is being put to good use.

The President of Vulcan Hart and the CEO of Garland who claim to
be the biggest Commercial Range Manufacturers in the world, wanted
to come out with this technology together.  Their engineering
department went against their President in Vulcan Harts case and
the CEO of Garland, even after a preliminary production Heavy Duty
Two Burner Counter Top Unit built by me and was presented to the
President of Vulcan Hart.

I feel that it is my responsibility to do what I can to help turn
back Global Warming. This technology or a similar technology will
help do that.

This technology was under funded by the Department of Energy (DOE)
and I tried to continue the project by taking on debt, until I
could not afford to continue.

THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE DOE PROJECT WAS TO REBUILD THE
ORIGINAL TWO BURNER UNIT AND BUILD A HEAVY DUTY SIX BURNER RANGE.

THE TECHNOLOGY WAS TO BE CERTIFIED BY (CSA) AND THEN SENT UP TO
THE PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC FOOD TECHNOLOGY KITCHEN FOR A REAL
LIFE TESTING IN THEIR RESTAURANT KITCHEN.

IF THE SIX BURNER RANGE COMPLETED ALL OF ITS TEST WITHIN THE
ENVELOP OF A VIABLE COMMERCIAL COOKING APPLIANCE THEN THAT
INFORMATION WOULD HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO INTERESTED PARTIES.

THE TWO LEADING RANGE MANUFACTURERS ALREADY KNEW THAT THE SYSTEM
WAS VIABLE.  THEY ALSO KNEW THAT THE END USERS WANTED TO HAVE
BETTER CONTROL OVER THEIR OPEN FACED BURNERS.

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF ONE OF THE GIANTS IN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY
COMMUNICATED TO THE MANUFACTURERS THEIR DESIRE TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF
TECHNOLOGY--> TO THE POINT OF HAVING A MEETING WITH THE HEAD OF
SALES. THE MANUFACTURERS DISMISSED THEIR PETITION FOR SUCH A
TECHNOLOGY.

THIS MEANS THAT IF ARB OR CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION WAS TO FUND
THIS TECHNOLOGY OR ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY I ANY FIELD OF ENDEAVER AND
IT MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENT AS LAID OUT BY ARB AND OR THE
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION, THEIR IS A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT
THOSE INDUSTRIES THAT THE TECHNOLOGY WOULD HAVE TO BE INCORPORATED
INTO WOULD NOT USE THE TECHNOLOGY AND CONTINUE ALONG MANUFACTURING
THE SAME OLD POLLUTING PRODUCTS.

THE TECHNOLOGY THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED IS DESPERATELY WANTED BY END
USERS, HOWEVER WHEN END USERS WANT TO OPEN A NEW KITCHEN THEY HAVE
TO BUY WHAT THE MANUFACTURERS MAKE AVAILABLE.

TO GO WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT MARKET FORCES WILL DICTATE THAT THE
MANUFACTURERS IN THIS CASE AND IN MANY OTHERS THAT YOU HAVE FUNDED
OR WILL FUND,--> WILL ADOPT THE NEW TECHNOLOGY IS EXTREMELY
MISGUIDED. 

IF A TECHNOLOGY MEET ALL REQUIREMENT SET OUT BY ARB, OR THE
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION OR DOE, THEN AFTER A SET PERIOD USED
TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURERS AWARE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND THAT PENDING
LEGISLATION IS COMING, IF THEY DO NOT ADOPT IT THEN YOU HAVE TO BE
COMMITTED TO SIGN THE LEGISLATION MAKING IT MANDATORY THAT A
TECHNOLOGY OF SOME TYPE MUST BE ADOPTED THAT WILL PRODUCE THE SAME
RESULTS AS THE TECHNOLOGY THAT ANY OF THE ABOVE GROUPS NAMED HAVE
FUNDED. GIVING A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME FOR ADOPTION OF THE POLLUTING
AND OR ENERGY REDUCING TECHNOLOGY.

IN 1985 GIVEN TWO YEARS FOR DEVELOPMENT 1987 THE UNITED STATES
COULD HAVE STARTED ON A SIMPLE ROAD THAT LONG BEFORE NOW WOULD HAVE
REDUCED THE CO2 PRODUCTION IN THIS COUNTRY BY 400,000,000 TONS,
EVERY YEAR

PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I HAVE SPENT MOST OF
THE YEARS SINCE 1985 WORKING TO GET THIS TECHNOLOGY INTO THE MARKET
PLACE -->IT IS TIME YOU DID YOUR PART.
