If you really think this will be a net zero home you are delusional.
That tiny solar array won't even run the A/C for a 4500 sq/ft house.

You can pay a lot of electric bills for the half million extra this
house costs over the garden variety megabuck Rutenburg house.


Even if it was a zero sum home. Those that can afford a 4000'+ home
should
be able to afford electricity. Part of our housing problem is all these
middle class or lower people who just needed a large mansion. Hang the
cost vs. income, I got a cheap loan!

Affording electricity has NOTHING to do with it.


--------------------------

It has lots to do with it in this case.

No, it doesn't.
How much energy are those solar panels going to save? Consider the energy
to make a small home system. Cheaper to buy the electricity, and may even
be more energy efficient.

It's a net zero home, fool. You do know what that means, don't you?

How much energy was expended to generate the "net zero"?

You are babbling like Scotty now.....


Well how much energy did it take to make the solar panel and controls?
Will that amount of energy be recovered over the life of the panels? You
are the babbling and grasping at straws.


How much energy does it cost to build a coal fired plant? A nuclear
plant?


A lot, but per customer a heck of a lot less than a home solar panel. If
it was a financially viable solution, utilities would be building lots of
solar plants, and you would not need a 25% tax credit to install them.

You fail to get the point, and the rest of the article.

"Two weeks ago, he bought land for the first Zero Energy America
Village, a prototype community just south of the Pinellas-Pasco border
on East Lake Road.

The project will feature 1,600- to 1,800-square-foot homes with a
target
price of $250,000.

"They will be amazingly healthy, totally green, and the homeowner will
have no electric bills," said Rutenberg. "The village will be the
proudest moment of our company to date."

Considering a 1600 sq/ft house is going for less than $200k up there
in cow country if it is a real nice one (granite and hardwood kitchen
sort of thing) it is still putting $150k down against future electric
bills.

Are you saying that a 1600 square foot home outside of Tampa is going
for $50k???? Are you nuts?
I am still waiting for someone to tell me what the maintenance costs
are and how well these collectors hold up to being hit by lightning,
100 MPH winds and flying debris.

I am still thinking about doing it myself but as long as this is a
high 5 figure or 6 figure investment, I can't make financial sense out
of it.

Yes, you and other right wingers have shown your disdain for anything
innovative and on the technological forefront.


------------------------------

You and the other left wingers have shown your distain for any financial
responsibility.

I have plenty of "financial responsibility". And where do you get the
notion that I'm a "left winger"?


---------------------------

You argue the left's side. and the left seems to lack any financial
responsibility.

I argue MY side, the sane side.

What is sane about over spending for electricity, or for government?

Who's overspending for electricity? And what does the article I posted
about the net zero home have to do with government?


Why does the cost of electricity vary around the country?


What does that have to do with my question?


We just moved a data center from a high electricity cost area to a low
electricity cost area. We save tens of millions of dollars and we
increased our lab space by hundreds of thousands of square feet. We have
10,000 racks in the new data center.

We call that a trade, not an investment.

"Future Fuel" is a no hit on Yahoo Finance.


OK you tell me, what is the ticker symbol.


NYSE = FF


Yeah, that's what I'd use as a barometer, Yahoo Finance..... right.

Which electric car company would you invest in?

Daimler Benz.

That is not an electric car company. It is a company that may put out

Sure it is, one of the largest holders in Tesla.


Investing money in a widget maker does not make you a widget maker.

Please enlighten us as to why being able to afford the electricity is

Because that simply NOT the point of the zero sum home. Are you really
that stupid, or just acting like it for attention?


You need to do some research on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_cost_of_ownership


What does that have to do with this discussion?


I wouldn't expect you to understand financial issues Booger.

Who or what produces the electricity that is put into cars?

Power companies.

In the US 42% of that electricity is generated from coal. (the largest
single source of power) Unfortunately the places where coal is used
are also the places with short enough commutes to make electric cars
competitive.

You are advocating coal power cars.


Another silly scared of technology argument.


What technology argument. There is no argument about how electricity is
produced, how electricity is distributed nor any argument about how
electricity is consumed. The argument is that the electric cars of today
are no more efficient and cost effective than the electric cars of 100
years ago.


Bull****.

I am really amazed at the left's fascination with alternate energy
schemes that use massive government subsidies to make them attractive.
This is the quintessential welfare for the rich at the expense of the
poor.

Do you mean like the oil industry? Or our current electric generating
facilities? They are subsidized you know....

The alternate energy subsidies are 10 to 20 times the subsidy for oil
and gas, (per KWH produced) depending on which you are talking about.
In gross numbers nuclear gets many times more money than oil and gas.

I notice you haven't answered about which alternate energy scheme YOU
have bought into with your own money. (other than that which was taken
without your permission by the government)
..


Loogy invest in alternative energy? He doesn't have the where with all. Snerk.

He says he is moving non performing assets in to electric cars, etc. No
wonder he has non performing assets. Bad investor.

Really? Every automobile manufacturer that sells cars in the U.S. is
working VERY hard on electric vehicles.

Sure they are. Government requirement. How much ROI in those electric car
companies?


There is NO government requirement to produce electric cars, that is a
lie.


You want to stay out of trouble with the government, you better be working
on electric cars.


Again, there is NO "government requirement to produce electric cars".
