I wonder if you try to oppose every new technology that comes out...
I only oppose "savings" products with economic, safety and/or climatic disadvantages overwhelms advantages.

They are basically:

- Flammable gas filled air conditioning and refrigeration product(negligible, if any performance advantage but extreme hazards to people)

- "green devices" that inject harmonics into power line and contribute to increasing total demand distortion for power systems (kWh wasted per kWh generated increases, thus doing more harm than good)

- Appliances that are uneconomical to repair due to embedded firmware controlled power electronics (many China made stuff. Proprietary software dictated hardware that will be scrapped due to software related issues rendering it irreparable)

- Foreign made "green" products made using toxic chemicals that simply outsource pollution(you're just polluting elsewhere rather than at home)

- The environmentally harmful "green" products (it's all about the green look of the money. manufactured with harmful chemicals or contains harmful substances)

Pollution, green washing, environmental marketing, embedded systems, digitally controlled DSP photovoltaic grid-tie inverter, MPPT, toxic chemicals, RoHS, microelectronics, trichlorosilane, silicon tetrachloride, cadmium, CdTe, itai-itai disease, Reduction of Harmful Substances directive
