Extraterrestrial liquid water extrasolar planetary systems appear to have very different compositions to the Solar System, though there is probably sample bias arising from the detection methods. Liquid water has a distinct absorption spectroscopy signature compared to other states of water due to the state of its hydrogen bonds. Despite the confirmation of extraterrestrial water vapor and ice, however, the spectral signature of liquid water is yet to be confirmed outside of Earth. The signatures of surface water on terrestrial planets may be undetectable through thick atmospheres across the vast distances of space using current technology. Seasonal flows on warm Martian slopes, though
Solar hot water in Australia rebates are offered at the present, however the Queensland government in 2007 announced the phasing-out of electric hot water systems commencing in 2010. From 2010, Queenslanders who need to replace their household hot water system due to breakdown will no longer be able to install electric systems, and will instead have to choose from gas, solar or heat pump options. Prior to this, the Queensland government had already banned the installation of electric hot water systems in newly constructed houses; a law which came into effect on 1 March 2006. The ban on electric hot water systems was repealed on
