I know the technology that Deputy O'Sullivan speaks of. It is small. The problem is that with small things, people say "ah sure it is only a small part, it is part of the hotel's costs." What is the gas for cooking? It is probably only a fraction of a percent. Do you spend your time on all the hassle or is it easier to keep the current system? However, that sort of innovation with many small measures together, is transformative. Also this past year I would say anyone who had one installed has seen a big benefit in lower gas bills. That is a good idea and I will look at it within our budget process. It makes a lot of sense to me and I will investigate it.
