I invented a breakthrough energy source which violates the law of energy conservation. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which violate the law of energy conservation (and also experimental evidence of such phenomena). Making a 6 kW generator will cost $1200, value of the energy produced yearly $5400, zero operating costs. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents.

yeah- not a real earthship, a real one is made from tires and bottles and dirt and yes, some concrete but not like this. A totally cool house that resembles an earthship but how did planet green not know this? Earthships should have been the first place they started when thinking of their series. I will give you guys a hint: TAOS.  now go find out what makes an earthship an earthship. earthship.

Another great idea out of reach from the average person...bank financing, building codes, permits etc....

Really nice if you have "cash up front to build!

Not quite an earth ship but uses similar concepts of thermo dynamics.

The reason they showed this so called earthship is because to show a true EARTHSHIP and to have Mike Reynolds on would show this is truely a better way to build, Steve Thomas the host of Renovation Nation is a dickweed, and has full say so on what homes are shown on this show, I have sent numerous letters to Discovery chan pleading them to kick him off and put someone truly into green building and drop his snide ass comments he makes toward real green building ideas as pipe dreams.

Why are Planet Green's hosts such dipshits?

[nicovl]

This is not a real earthship... There are many real earthships... A real earthship is constructed with garbage and was developed by Reynolds! Do a google or youtube search to find out more!

A population of 6.5 billion and rising is the planet's biggest ecological problem. If everyone cuts their ecological footprint in half while the population doubles, we haven't made any progress.

Another question: why is there a water fountain there?

[leloodallasmultipass]

@kaisenji to remove unnecessary water via evaporation.

[AyakoTachi]

how is 10" thick concrete eco friendly?

[grimtok]

awesome, this is one of my favorite shows on the channel, I'll have to look out for this episode.

Just one more solar panel or wind turbine and they can sell power to the grid!
