Possible Summer Cabin? - A Low Impact Woodland Home

Posted by Greg Walsh on Jan 22, 2007 in Creative, Green

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.

According to these projections, I’ll have close to waterfront property if the sea levels rise to 7m (about 21 feet)

Your car may run on Ethanol too!

Posted by Greg Walsh on May 4, 2006 in Green

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.

Wired2014.053-The Next Green Revolution

Posted by Greg Walsh on Apr 26, 2006 in City Living, Green

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.

Plug-In Partners

Posted by Greg Walsh on Jan 25, 2006 in City Living, Green, Welcome to the Future

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.

Wired News: Saddle Up Yer Velomobile

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

Hybrid Cars - The Great Hybrid Car Cover-up of ‘74

Posted by Greg Walsh on Jan 17, 2006 in Biz, Green, Welcome to the Future

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.
