Oh didnt you get the report on how SPF sunscreen lotion is super bad for the coral reefs...not joking here, its just ironic that now we cant even protect ourselves from harmful rays without killing something else, which sustains our CO2 levels...it has become a matter choosing our fate, rather than preventing it, sorry to sound dessimistic but why are we not killing massive amounts of industry? a 70:1 garbage ratio is unacceptable, for more info view this quick video on www.storyofstuff.com

Man should never play god, we always get the bill in the end...

"You cant solve a problem using the same thinking that caused the problem" A. Einstein. Secondly, podboq, your architectural designs found on monolithic.com site features a patented design from someone, who lives in florida and he is 93 years old, just so you dont run into infringement. Finally I would like to add your sphere design is not tornado/hurricane proof. They are stronger than a regular house but not 100% proof. I have the design for that if you are interested then write me a mail and we can discuss further. Bottom line, great that the US is finally making an effort in building green and solid constructions, its something we in europe have been doing for a century but energy consumption per capita is way too high in the US many countries are WAY ahead so Im hoping for broader learning from other countries. No point in reinventing the wheel if it already exists... BTW Denmark for example, has 20% coming from windpower and wholly off the grid independent communities living on renewable energy (iin my opinion it should actually be called alternative energy, as oil is renewable , if you wait long enough) Denmark also doubled their GDP since the 1980 without increasing their energy consumption 1% ! so it is proven and I hope others will follow their mentality. I would be very happy to see the US embracing more communal transporting, stop outsourcing to China, manufacture cars that are safe and running on efficient high pressure engines (like european made cars), waste to energy, windpower on a grand scale, stop ethanol (as it consumes way too much water, which will be the new Black gold-Blue gold) and finally implement biogas for farmers on a grand scale.
