Students Show Off Super-Efficient Solar Homes

mmol_6453 writes "An article at voanews.com describes the 'first-ever solar decathalon,' where the students show off effecient solar-powered homes." As a former Airstream resident, tiny efficient homes have a special place in my heart. Anyone in the D.C. area who can get out there and take pictures, links to photos would be much appreciated in comments.

Re:There's always wind

Often the compliment of a lot of rainy and cloudy weather is plenty of wind. But you're right, sun is not a constant, there's also the lattitude factor as well.

Typically you'll find plenty of wind wherever your country's politicians happen to be on any given day. Or, you could try to find yourself a property near a Taco Bell.
