brilliance

I am at this moment learning about heat pumps, because a house we're interested in has electric heat but not a heat pump. I'm using California's site:

They also talk about geothermal heatpumps. And I just have to say, this is sheer genius. You know, all the time growing up people thought I was smart and expected me to do great things but I think they meant with paper, white collar jobs, rather than making things that are actually useful. The folks who invented and refined the heat pump, that's a real type of genius. I'm just awed. Really.
