A guy in Wales built a house in a hill. No big surprise…people have been doing that since the 70’s. The cool thing is it cost around $3000 and looks like a Hobbit house. I’m not sure I could live there permanently, but, it would make a sweet vacation home.

This looks like an energy saving Web site from the gov. What I’ve read seems interesting. I also like the Hog character.

I was worried that my 2005 Toyota Corrolla would be left out in the cold as more and more Ethanol products are released at gas stations. Even though it won’t run on E85, it looks like we’ll be able to use some sort of blend to reduce the cost per mile of our car.

A good commentary on why being Green isn’t for woodsy, hide-in-the-hills people and how environmentalism is better than just being good for the environment.

I’m not really sure how Baltimore jumped on this train, but, it seems if they are supporting the development of Plug-in Hybrids. A plug-in hybrid is a car you charge overnight and get 50 miles on without any gas.

This is exactly what I want! It costs as much as a segway and seems way more practical.

It seems as if the future of automobiles was realized in the 70’s but squashed by the EPA. Dr Victor Wouk developed a hybrid car in the mid-70’s.
Is this that story we always heard about that said the auto manufacturers kept a car that gets 100 mpg hidden from the public? The 100 mpg could have been an exageration and the EPA could have easily been influenced by Oil/Car companies in a post oil-embargo world.

This article reinforces why I sail. I think we spent $5 on filling up the diesel tank on a weekend trip.
