He'd need duct tape to keep his head from exploding if he knew our dream is to have a 4000sf house that has photovoltaic solar cells in the roofing, a hugh pool of solar heated water underground with tubing running through it, through which will run the water that comes in from the city, and it will be heated by active solar collectors so that our water heating costs are negligible, and for that water to also provide our radiant under the floor heating. We want to have rainwater and grey water collection tanks so that we can use it to water the lawn and the organic square foot garden.

We're also looking to get hybrid cars that we can convert to PLUG-IN hybrids, that can be charged during the day from our photovoltaic cells. ;o)

Crunchy Cons, indeed!

Your plans sound lovely!

We plan on being off the grid to a great extent in the future. We want a simple place further north and then we'll spend half the year in Mexico running our beachside bar. :)

For now we have to spend the next ten years building our business so we can sell it for Big Bucks and retire by the time we're 55.

We're "Crunchy-Capitalist-Cons," I guess, LOL!
