Living Free And Easy



As a recent article in Wired magazine detailed, "Hundreds of homeowners in California never worry about paying their electric bills on time. It's not because they are careless; it's because they live in new 'zero-energy' homes that produce as much electricity as they consume. These homes are not multimillion-dollar prototypes -- they are entry-level homes using commercially available products."

That's just brilliant.

  • Our province, Ontario, has been very slow in implementing programs that allow home owners who create their own energy (e.g., from solar or wind) to send their extra energy back to be deducted from their bill. In theory, if you produced enough energy you could actually be a little power plant that is profitable!
