Why is this technology unheard of in the United States?

>>537861699>Why is this technology unheard of in the United States?I like my water warmer than 80 degrees.
Because it's retarded.
>>537861699There's always a good reason something doesn't exist. It's probably super inefficient
>>537861699If you had a large enough water tank and put these all over every building could you use it to absorb heat during the day and cool down entire cities by several degrees? Pic not related
>>537861820lowest IQ, newfaggiest board on all of 4chan.
>>537861699Lots of US homes had them in the 70s, they leaked and became maintenance heavy nightmares and people were removing them by the 90s, you dumbass zoomer.
>>537861699plumber here.these things have been a thing in the US for probly 70 years.
>>537861699doesn't work in the winter covered in snow and 3 hours of sunlight, especially not in the midwest. it only works in equatorial countries and deserts where the sun if full blast all year long. I stayed in a place in chile that had this shit and the water was cold because it was a cloudy winter.
>>537862214That looks like Australia.
>>537862074Its free energy and you dont have to rely on jewish fuel suppliers or mismanaged energy grids
>>537861820>>537862161>polFeel free to fuck off any time, transparent fucking rats.
>>537861699It doesn't work without subsidies from the state.Leftards pretend to be ignorant on this one.
>>537861820Any thread that includes>why is>why are>how can>what isEtc can be safely hidden and ignored. The odds that it's a 1pbtid irrelevant time wasting bad faith question is nearly 100%
>>537862217They will wish they picked a more hospitable climate when the energy crisis hits.
>>537861879yeah if you dont invest categorically of course it wont be a US industry.
>>537862304I've probably been here daily since 2006, you can fuck right off.I have been on here long enough to buy a house with a pool when I first came here I had 4 roommates and no money.I have lived a full life on pol.KYS please, shoe on head, you dun goofed, pools closed due to aids and many others you probably don't get.
>>537862334Of course fossil fuel tards don't get subsidies.
>>537862334Its not photovoltaik, just solar thermal. People did this with just coiled up hoses for ages.
>>537862299OMG HOT WATER IN THE SUMMER THIS IS SUCH A LIFE HACKAND IN THE WINTER THEY COOL DOWN THE WATERWOW BASEDTHE SUN AND WIND DONT SEND INVOICES
Apparently you can buy them just over the border in Mexico but its really rare in the US and costs 5 times more.
>>537861699the problem is capital manipulation.Only wealthy people can afford things like green energy solutions while eventually savings money in the long run meanwhile poor people can only afford non-green solutions while spending more money in the long run.It's basically soft usury.
>>537861995This guy works for big oil
they are a thing, but the only people that use them are off grid hippie types. And most of them roll their own.
>>537863011Poor countries can afford them but for some reason they are very expensive in the US.
>>537861699Our next door neighbors where I grew up had this and this was 40 years ago.
>>537862291it could be, was just the 1st pic i found on the goog
>>537862874As Terry Pratchett put it> The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
Maybe this inexpensive style doesn't work with our high water pressure?
>>537861699the answer is always this:it would take away from certain people's revenue streamslook at what happened to public transit it the USA - it could have been the greatest in the world but it threatened certain people's revenue ...and the rest is history.

>>537862968he's right thonothing beats gaznot even electricgaz = hot steamythe only time they are "good" is during summerwho tf takes hot showers during summer

Solar water heaters have been literally required for USA new construction building codes for almost 20 years. Idiots

>>537866937>op picrelHawaii requires solar water heaters in all new single-family residential construction, including accessory dwelling units (ADUs), as mandated by Hawaii Revised Statutes § 196-6.5 (Act 204). This law, signed by Governor Linda Lingle and effective January 1, 2010, prohibits issuing building permits for new single-family homes that do not include a solar water heater system meeting state standards. The mandate does not apply to multi-family dwellings such as duplexes, triplexes, condos, or apartment buildings. Homeowners or builders seeking to avoid installing a solar water heater must obtain a variance from the Hawaii State Energy Office. Variance requests must be submitted by a licensed architect or mechanical engineer and typically require demonstrating that alternative heating methods (such as heat pumps or gas systems) are more cost-effective through a Life Cycle Cost Comparison.
>>537868112Less than 6% of Hawaii's energy comes from geothermal.
>>537861699If the sun is out then you're already warm so you don't need it. Simple.
>>537861820I think I’d want more than one of these if I had a pool. Then again it gets cold here in May and September.

>>537862334The State creates money. Subsidies are literally the thing it is designed to do. Money exists to provision the government.
>>537863293The rich are rich because they have proximity to the money printer, theft. Every myth about the rich is from a different era, and post financialization, a complete and dangerous lie.
