Should you run across an extra few thousand to spare could you send it to us to help keep 12 people a job? WE can pay it back within five years..with interest. I know this is the most off the wall way to ask, but as noted..been everywhere and willing to try anything......]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike Wilson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 5th 2009 12:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Property Tycoon Builds America's First Green Mansion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/05/property-tycoon-builds-americas-first-green-mansion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/05/property-tycoon-builds-americas-first-green-mansion/</guid><description><![CDATA[There's no such thing as a green mansion.  If only a handful people are living in a 15,000 square foot house, it is an amazing waste.  OK, so you're cutting your electric bill by 70%.  That's still going to exponentially exceed the US average household usage.  What about the materials used to build the home?  Are your solar panels going to help replace the 500 trees that it took to build your house?  How about your natural gas usage?  <br><br>A 2,000 square foot home would be plenty big enough for an average family of 5 or so.  By that standard this home could comfortably house 37 or so people.  Don't let these limo liberals lull you into thinking they give a shit about anybody except themselves.  <br><br>I would like to see Al Gore or his peers move into a nice 1,500 square foot ranch with a one car garage.  That's how most Americans live.  Until then, you're all a bunch of arrogant hypocrites that nobody takes seriously.    ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Highlander]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 5th 2009 12:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Property Tycoon Builds America's First Green Mansion]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/05/property-tycoon-builds-americas-first-green-mansion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/05/property-tycoon-builds-americas-first-green-mansion/</guid><description><![CDATA[it is great that he has made this energy self sufficient buuuttttttt there are other things like how much land did this sprawling estate bulldoze for this ,possibly one, individual. what kind of building materials, how green is the green building council,is it just a front for builders.<br>conserve reuse recycle<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[david smith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 5th 2009 12:48PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
