I am an environmentalist. And I hate Nuclear energy. But it is not because of its inherent dangers. It is not because of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. It is because Nuclear energy is not the solution.
Why not?
Uranium deposits are shrinking at an alarming rate. In a few decades time, the cheap U ores would have run out, and the remaining deposits would absorb more energy to extract a gram of U than that gram can ever hope give back.
Over reliance on Nuclear energy can easily turn us away from looking at real alternatives. That's my gripe with Newkiller. Not some quasi-religious aversion.
Have a read down the list below. If this patent is granted, we will all be taking dumps in the dark.
The items in question:
57. A method of providing illumination for a toilet, comprising: providing a light system with a plurality of LEDs and a processor for controlling a color of light from the LEDs; and disposing the light system in connection with a toilet.
58. A method of claim 57, wherein disposing the light system comprises disposing it on the seat of the toilet.
59. A method of claim 57, wherein disposing the light system comprises disposing it in the toilet bowl.
60. A method of claim 57, wherein disposing the light system comprises disposing it in a rack above the toilet bowl.
61. A method of claim 57, wherein disposing the light system comprises disposing it in connection with an odor control facility.
62. A system for providing illumination for a toilet, comprising: a light system with a plurality of LEDs and a processor for controlling a color of light from the LEDs; and a toilet, wherein the light system is disposed to illuminate a portion of the toilet.
63. A system of claim 63, wherein the light system is disposed on the seat of the toilet.
64. A system of claim 63, wherein the light system is disposed in the toilet bowl.
65. A system of claim 63, wherein the light system is disposed in a rack above the toilet bowl.
66. A system of claim 63, wherein the light system is disposed in connection with an odor control facility.
