About The Author
very interesting and cool
I would love to have a house like that when I grow up
Brilliant. Lots of this should become standard for new houses.
So, the excavators that dug out the foundation ran on wind and solar?? WOW!!!
its all a money scam. global warming is caused by geo engineering not cars and industry. oil extraction and other chemicals are polluting the environment. switch hemp for oil and paper products. its being done on low scale. its how it was done before these scum bags took over
house is cool…Google can the hell out of my home
Awesome. Big house though. Not for everybody.
you launched my Google home and turned off my lights. please stop saying okay Google in videos ppl.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the 'good' of its victims may be the most oppressive.
It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our 'own good' will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C. S. Lewis
So what was the carbon footprint to make all the materials that go into the house?
Cement for the concrete is made by cooking off carbon in limestone so you get a massive amount there, Silicon in the solar panels is heated to a molten state then slowly a starter crystal is added then slowly rotated and pulled away growing the silicon crystal that is then cut into wafers so lots of power needed to heat the mass and keep it hot. Glass sheets used in the panels is made on the molten tin method meaning you have a massive natural gas furnace that keeps the tin molten at the same time it is melting new glass, Natural gas is not as clean as they make it out to be as it comes out of the ground contaminated with CO2 and they have to separate them before they pipe the natural gas on.
You might be producing more energy then you use now but that dose not mean you are out of the hole dug to get you to this stage. You would also be taking advantage of ground source or water source heat pumps if you really wanted high efficiency for heating/cooling as the energy transfer is much better then a air based system shown on the house.
if it makes more energy than it consumes…
wouldn't it be a 'net negative' ?
