Filter Changes your Current Water Supply to NYC's Water Taste, Anywhere. Good at Making Pizza, Bagels, etc., Just as Good as NYC's Taste, Elsewhere.

Filtration system promises to make any pizza taste like NYC's

New York City quality pizza west of the Hudson? Fuhgeddaboudit! Not so fast, according to a New Jersey company that will unveil on Monday a water-filtration system that promises to improve any out-of-town restaurant's food quality by making its local water taste as good as NYC tap water.

From article, (according to a New Jersey company that will unveil on Monday a water-filtration system that promises to improve any out-of-town restaurant’s food quality by making its local water taste as good as NYC tap water.
It will do so by matching the molecular makeup of Big Apple water.
So a bagel store in Baltimore can make a bialy as good as a Bensonhurst bakery, it said. And a slice of pepperoni pizza in Peoria will be as good as in Park Slope.
Paul Errigo, chief executive of New York WaterMaker, plans to introduce his $2,890-a-year filtration system at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas on Monday.
“We think there is a market for microbreweries and coffee franchises [too],” Errigo told The Post.
The Belleville, NJ, company has been testing its filtration system for months and has convinced the owner of a popular Staten Island pizza joint that it works.
Mike Burke, whose Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern has been among the most popular pizzerias in the area for decades, trucked Gotham water to a second spot in Brick, NJ, after finding the local water didn’t cut it.
But after using the filtration system, he can’t tell the difference in quality between his two locations.
“We couldn’t make our dough in Brick without New York water,” said Burke, who hopes to franchise its nearly century-old pizzeria and said he will use the new filtration system at each location.
“The pizza in other parts of New Jersey is very white and doughy while ours is brown and crunchy,” said Burke. Denino’s also has a popular Greenwich Village outlet.
Errigo plans to offer businesses 10-year leases — and ship new filters every six months.)

Solar Power World Wide Growth Continues to Increase

Solar Power Smashed Another Record In 2017, But Didn't Quite Reach 100 GigaWatts

Last year looked set to be a particularly challenging one for the growth of solar power. Yet despite Donald Trump's promises to restore the fortunes of coal in solar's second-biggest market, 29.3 percent more solar cells were installed in 2017 than 2016, which had smashed previous records.

From article, (Last year looked set to be a particularly challenging one for the growth of solar power. Yet despite Donald Trump's promises to restore the fortunes of coal in solar's second-biggest market, 29.3 percent more solar cells were installed in 2017 than 2016, which had smashed previous records. Despite this, the world didn't quite manage to reach the milestone of installing 100 Gigawatts of solar capacity in the year, finishing at 98.9 GW.

the total operating solar in the world to 405 GW, 89 percent of which was installed in the last seven years. The announcement indicates solar capacity overtook that of nuclear worldwide, although nuclear still produces more power since most plants operate for so many more hours a day.

Over the last 40 years, the amount of photovoltaic capacity commissioned in a year has doubled roughly every two years. If that rate continues, we'll be getting most of our electricity from the Sun by 2030. Even if the 29 percent growth seen in 2017 becomes the average, new solar will double every three years, and still be the largest single source of electricity by the mid-20s.

China was dominant, installing 52.8 GW, a 53 percent increase on 2016. India, at 9.6 GW is quite likely to overtake the United States this year, which fell from 14.8 to 11.8 GW. Meanwhile Europe, the one part of the world where solar installations have fallen in recent years, rebounded with 8.6 GW (up 28 percent), particularly in Turkey, which at 1.8 GW became the largest solar market in Europe for the first time.)
