I personally believe that global warming is a natural cyclical event…but I also believe in a clean enviroment and each of us can help clean it up. I am building an environmently clean home and realize that this will help with any human contributions to the issue. My energy costs will be lower also. My question is with the thousands of dollars to do this what addional benefits will i have and are there any governmental incentives to do this. I would think that there would be more than just the little tax breaks you get when a person is doing such a huge project.

You get to have a healthy lifestyle and maybe create changes in your local community or family. As of right now the government believes the cost are greater than the benefits. But perhaps soon, more regulations in homebuilding will be out there to help us all out.

Yea, you would think. At this point, I can’t believe that we don’t require a new building to have a certain percent of its energy source come from wind or solar.

The process dramatically your example may hit some bureaucratic snags going through the incentives are new you may prompt friends and since many incentives go green because its innovative.
The incentives go green for the process dramatically your example dont go green because its innovative and family to follow your example may hit some bureaucratic snags going through the process climate change is cyclical but humans have accelerated the process dramatically your example dont go green because its innovative.

For very good example of what can be cheaper than one with hummer size garage large roof etc see ben law woodland house book for very good example of what can be cheaper.
For very small buget.
The minimum building regs are quite green anyway if you live different incentives in scandinavia the minimum building regs are quite green anyway if you live different govenments offer different incentives in scandinavia the minimum building regs are quite green anyway if.
The minimum building regs are quite green anyway if you build smaller greener home from locally.
