So you don't think that a refrigerator gains heat from it's environment when it's closed? That's interesting.

I own the Mitsu out of necessity. Have you ever driven on highway 17 between San Jose and Santa Cruz? It's a nightmare... that is unless you've got decent power and modified suspension. Like me! And I dare you to find another vehicle that has 320 hp and gets 28 mpg. I get better mileage than a Mazda Miata and I've got more power than most v6 engines. My car is a poster-child for efficiency.

Welcome to the "this has nothing to do with anything" hour. You brought up basements because you misread my posts and now you're trying to make a point that they're expensive? I never said that basements had anything to do with efficiency.

Of course there is, cost effectiveness. Aren't you reading my posts? We need cheaper solar so it becomes a more feasible solution.
