First zero emission home unveiled
I found this article on digg.com and thought I'd share. A new house design that will be the first to meet the environmental standards all new UK homes must achieve by 2016 is being unveiled later. A very cool article and awsome design for a home...honestly check this out. The house is built with more insulation to prevent more than 60% of heat from escaping the home. Also solar panels are used for energy and rain capturing devices are used...which I believe more people should be doing.

why doesn't our government make an effort to push these homes into America? We need some real leadership for once...hopefully the next president will tackle these issues more seriously.
That is such a cool house. I only hope that when I go to purchase a home, I can afford to make it more 'green.'
And I agree with John, hopefully someone with some influence in the US does something, and does it soon. But I suppose the first hurdle is making these options more affordable.
