A while back I wrote a column in which I explained the new light bulb legislation.
I lamented the complexity of the law. But I was able to find solace in the fact that the light bulbs of the future will be good even for those of us in the non-bureaucratic real world who, at the end of the day, just need light.
Since then, there is something new and it could impact consumers as much as its luminous predecessor.
In an effort to curb energy consumption, the U.S. Department of Energy concluded that water heaters are inefficient and must be redesigned to meet a higher standard.
The details of the legislation are still a little sketchy.
But what is certain is that it affects all phases of the industry. While it will certainly result in energy savings over the long haul, it could have some immediate disadvantages.
A rough outline of the mandate indicates that while all water heaters have insulation, most will require more.
The result will be heavier tanks larger in both diameter and height. Gas-fired models may be required to have a redesigned vent system and possibly an improved ignition design.
Tanks larger than 55 gallons may be subject to a more advanced set of standards as well as additional upgrades.
Questions remain about how manufacturers will make all of this come together and what ramifications will trickle down to the user.

Energy-saving mandate could put us in hot water
MALVERN Hills District Council is to look at providing online information on the state of springs and wells around the hills, following a Malvern Gazette campaign.
The campaign was started in spring last year following news that all 12 of the main springs around the hills were suffering from bacterial contamination at the same time.
The major water sources around the hills are checked quarterly, when samples are taken and analysed to detect the presence of bacteria.
The campaign called for information about the springs to be available on the internet, not just posted on notices at the water sources themselves.
Ivor Pumfrey, head of community services at Malvern Hills District Council, said: The water coming out of the spouts in Malvern is as it always has been untreated and of variable microbiological quality.
"This poses a potential risk to health and therefore our advice is, and has been for many years, to boil the water before drinking it or bathing with it.
"Notices to this effect have been erected over the years but have frequently been defaced or removed, but we do intend to install fresh signs in order to remind residents about the quality of the water.
"We also appreciate that some online information may be useful to people and will look into a web page on the quality of the water alongside warnings about the potential dangers and risks.
In the most recent round of tests, carried out towards the end of last year, Earl Beauchamp's Fountain in Cowleigh Road, Hay Slad on West Malvern Road, and the Lower Wyche Spout, off Old Wyche Road, failed bacteriological tests.
However, Malvinha, the water feature at Belle Vue Island in the town centre, and St Anns Wells, probably the most famous water source on the hills, were declared free from contamination.

After the announcement of the new Wells Bank location coming to Maryville earlier in the month, the Maryville City Council heard from city staff January 26 about the new developments infrastructure to make way for business and housing additions.
Maryville City Manager Greg McDanel reported Fountain Park Partners, LLC, owner of the 25 acres of land on South Main, has been in discussions with the city officials regarding the land development. The land owners have begun moving utilities and are making plans to invest $80,000 toward upgrades in water infrastructure to replace a waterline, install seven service connections and two fire hydrants along with a new waterline and sanitary sewer extension. Fountain Park Partners will also replace existing power lines by installing a cased bore, eliminating overhead lines which the city leaders plan to do with the remainder of South Main in the future.
The council approved the development agreement with Fountain Park Partners.
Other items approved at the council meeting:
New sculptures selected by the Maryville Public Arts Committee for Maryville downtown were approved by city council. The current art pieces will be replaced in May with the new ones.
Request to hold annual Speedy Spoofhound 5K April 25.
Ordinance for a general election in April for two three-year term city council positions with four candidates: Michael Baumli, Jason McDowell, Jerry Riggs and Beth Hawkins.
Ordinance for Maryville Parks and Recreation 10 tax levy to be on the April ballot.
Ordinance to allow the 15 levy to be put on the ballot for a county library that will be voted upon by county residents outside Maryville city limits.
Maryville will take part in the 2015 Show-Me-Green Sales Tax Holiday April 19-25.

ITS no good, the thigh burns set in and I need to take a break. Were half way between the first and second floor of the Eiffel Tower, so I can at least pretend to be taking in the Paris skyline as I catch my breath and wait for what feels like an imminent blackout to subside.
Its our own fault. My boyfriend and I could have taken the lift, but we decided to use the steps the thriftiest option, at five euros.
Paris might be a must-see, but the city of love doesnt come cheap.
That doesnt mean the French capital is out of bounds as a weekend destination, you just have to be savvy if you dont want to be left sobbing into your baguette. Its why we booked our accommodation through Airbnb. Not only is it a cheaper option than a hotel, but taking over someones home for a few nights (while theyre elsewhere) gives you the insiders view to a city.
Our cosy little apartment is on the fourth floor of a beautiful building in the artistic area of Montmartre. Once home to the likes of Renoir, the area has retained its bohemian feel, with quaint cafes and cobbled streets so narrow you can almost shake hands with the family living opposite.
Its also just a two-minute walk from white-domed Sacre-Coeur, the monumental church at the summit of Montmartre.
Climb the steps or take the funicular railway. Either way, the views are incredible. The Parisians might have a reputation for being austere, but even if youre a first-time visitor, theres something comforting about the citys landscape. Perhaps its because the iconic structures seem so familiar.
Take the Arc de Triomphe, the 19th century monument Napoleon commissioned to celebrate his own victory standing proud at the end of the vast Champs Elysees, and the Eiffel Tower, left, of course a symbol of the city.
And you dont need to splash out to visit the famous landmarks. On the advice of some locals, we buy a book of ten Metro tickets for just a few euros. We also walk a lot.

CRANBURY Mayor Jay Taylor said Sunday night that the township is gearing up for todays potentially crippling snowstorm by calling in extra police and road crews as well as closing the Cranbury School and municipal offices early.
"Chief (of Police) Ricky Varga and (Schools Superintendent) Susan Genco spoke (Sunday) and decided to close the Cranbury School at 12:30 p.m.," Mayor Taylor said. "We are also closing (municipal) offices early."
Mayor Taylor said he did not know how many extra officers Chief Varga planned to call in for extra duty, but it would be more than the normal three assigned to the day shift.
He also said road crews were prepared and would be out salting and plowing immediately.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning Sunday evening for New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New England through Tuesday afternoon as two systems take aim at the Northeast part of the country.
A coastal low is then expected to develop with significantly more moisture setting up a storm that could dump anywhere between 18 to 36 additional inches of snow through Tuesday, according to the forecast.
In addition to the snow, forecasters are warning of windy conditions of around 35 m.p.h. leading to potential blizzard conditions.
According to the agency, blizzard conditions exist when winds of at least 35 m.p.h. cause blowing snow to reduce visibility under a quarter of a mile for at least three hours.
(Township Administrator) Denise Maribello and I have been in constant communication (Sunday)," Mayor Taylor said. "We are ready to hit the ground running."
The township also cancelled Monday nights Township Committee meeting, he said.
