Going GREEN

Not just a little green, in the case of The Heliotrop, a (luxury) house that rotates on a central axis to the best angle to collect solar energy.  It heats hot water on the roof, absorbs heat in winter, reflects it in the summer, and oh yeah - the decor looks awesome.

When my husband and I are able to buy a home, one of the serious investments I really want to make is to add solar panels and get one of those two-way meters that actually feeds power back to the power company.  I’m not sure what other modifications would need/be able to be made, but having a Green house is something that really interests me.

Now if I could get one of those geotheramal heat systems that uses a deep well dug beneath the home before the foundation is poured, that would ROCK.
