Consider cooking efficiencies. I used an "Electric Blanket" to reduce my heating bill in Northern Canada! Thermally correct windows save on heating/cooling here also.Ground heat/cool storage, another good saver, and pleas address modern refrigeration, We are being "hosed" on the current marketplace, Africans have Solar powered refrigeration units that work for free, using Einstein cycle fridges. Total Off Grid living in comfort a real possibility with some modern technologies incorporated. Soon, we will have depleted uranium super-batteries form U.S. Navy to solve power storage conundrum, and combined with NASA's super-insulations, we will be off grid and running - no nukes needed! Love the domes, make them from foam, Japan does already! Talk about your super insulation! Sprayed with concrete for fire safety and strength, air tight and ideal for small house ideologies!Japanese domes come in pre molded pieces, glued together on-site! See net for details!
