That is interesting. Wonder how long the gas will hold up? I also wonder how long one million dollars would have heated that garage in a conventional way? I'll bet at least 75 years. That building won't be there in that amount of time. What a waste of money.

In other news, the Obama administration is having trouble figuring out how to cut the budget. Seems all the money that is spent is for children or the down and out. We can not stop spending on them or they will be homeless! What to do, what to do.

Skylights and a couple well placed parabolic mirrors will generate some heat in the shop.
