Mini-Splits are solutions designed by Asia for the Asian market. Smaller homes and energy at least twice the price.

Also we graduate 70,000 engineers per year and half of them are working on war-related projects. So, 35,000 are available for problems affecting the civilian sector.

India graduates 350,000 engineers per year and China graduates 600,000 per year.

We are out-gunned 27 to 1

Do you still think our problem is ding bat installers?
