So the Department of Energy gets a free ride. I can't give them the award this week even if they deserve it. The DOE just kicked off a 'Solar Decathlon' encouraging college students to think green in their house designs.
This house pictured is one of the entrants. Designed and built by City College of New York, it cost roughly $500.000 plus labor to build. It is a massive (!) 650 square feet (about the size of two car garage) and might produce enough electricity to be self supporting at least for the light bulb in the ceiling..... but unfortunately it was raining so reporters were left in the dark!!
This whole taxpayer paid scheme is so absurd - that I won't belabor it.... just link you to the story!!!
No wonder we are going bankrupt... DOE Secretary Steven Chu....... hmmm, isn't he that one that wants every roof in America painted white or something?
