Warm House, No Heating Bill!


Further to the post below on Walt Patterson's essay on "Managing Energy Wrong," read this exciting piece in today's NY Times about managing energy right!

How would you like - especially on a day like today - to live in a house with no heating system?

And stay warm and cozy!

When do we start building these here?

Funny David, it was in Germany where the tram/train was conceived, where LRT track shared with the mainline railways enabling modern light rail to be extended far and wide for about $4 million/km. to build. Compare this with SkyTrain at over $100 million/km. to build!

I have always wondered why a small wind turbine/solar panel kit wasn't mandatory for every household, to operate 3 or 4 outlets to power, let's say the fridge and TV/entertainment systems. Such a kit should not cost more than a $1000 dollars to install and would provide power 24/7.
