PV obviously has a lot of embedded energy, but the vast...

Re: Do you live near a wind farm? Would you?

In that context I would look at a house whose energy needs were so low that geo whatever would be gross overkill, problem solved.

Re: Do you live near a wind farm? Would you?

Re: Do you live near a wind farm? Would you?

There is geo thermal activity, Steamboat comes to mind, Princeton Hot Springs.

The system you are describing uses electricity more efficiently, but still uses electricity. Which one would be best...

Re: Do you live near a wind farm? Would you?

Re: Do you live near a wind farm? Would you?

I think I could talk for an hour on this, so just some headline points:

There are some things you can do which have a very quick payback, others are much harder. The low hanging fruit includes...

Re: Do you live near a wind farm? Would you?

If you rely on wind, what do you do when the wind does not blow?
