No heating bills?

[badmomma]

Wow I guess I am really going to have to look into some
ways to get my home more like this mans home. He doesn't
have a furnace and he doesn't have an electric bill.

Amory Lovins lives 7,000 feet up in the Rocky Mountains. Winter temperatures there can drop to 40 degrees below zero.
His monthly heating oil bill? Zero. That's $0 -- no dollars and no cents.
It's not that Lovins doesn't use his furnace: He doesn't even have one. When it's really cold, he does use a couple of wood stoves, paying about $125 a year for wood.
His household electric bill? None. In fact, the power company pays him. How about carbon-dioxide emissions? The building is roughly carbon-neutral, Lovins says.

No heating bills?

I would love to have a home that effecient. My electric bill is
rediculous. My furnace doesn't warm my home as well as I would
like and I supplement with wood and electric heaters. Fuel costs
are so high that I believe that making the switch would actually
be cheaper than trying to keep up this way.

When I first read your post, I was picturing an old hermit in a little one-room cabin, lol. Boy was I wrong! This would be an awesome place to live, wouldn't it? It sure would be nice to be comfortable with no heating bills, and to have the electric company pay me too!! I can't say that I will ever live like this man, but I'm trying to do my part to keep the heating bills down and to live a little greener. This post has opened my eyes to strive to do much more. Thanks for posting it.
