Well duh!

So, popular news outlets are just now beginning to popularize the idea that "Hey... green building is a big part of energy conservation."

Scientific American, a periodical that used to be all about science and really high end technical content... and has recently decided to follow Pop-Sci's methods of attracting readership, has article after article about OMG - TEH GREEN!!! LOOKIE!!!

But - they get it right that building green is going to be a major deal and likely the cheapest method to calm climate change. However, making buildings efficient by replacing windows and unplugging appliances seems to be the limit of their vision. Too bad - so sad. Thank goodness there are people like me out there who want *real* change.

So - replacing windows is cheap huh... tell that to the suburbanite like myself who found that I have to rebuild the brick walls if I want to replace my fucking windows - OMG WTF!?! It would cost me less in the long run to buy a NEW house and have it built to my specifications with green technologies. This house was built in the late 1990's... that means that 99.999999% of the houses on the market today... and likely those still being built by tract developers are just like mine... irreparably inefficient as hell. /cry

So - if buying a new house is the better option... what about selling them a Gia-Ship Condo!!! Instant Eco-friendly - Yay. We win.

Now I gotta find a developer whos willing to break some real ground.
