Tom, have you had any ideas that you want to tell us about new designs, that will be required in our homes, for using the new technologies, that will be offered to us when we start to live in the new energy world, that will be coming to us all, in the near future? The question is what will it be and how can we utilise it, in daily terms, whatever that will be? Electric cars, CNG, LPG, and whatever else...
