Woz Details His Plans for Energy-Efficient House

An anonymous reader writes "ECN magazine has posted a long interview with the Woz on his new passion: energy-efficient housing. 'ECN: In PC World, you said, "It's like the way I used to make computers" -- how so? Woz: Simple design. Think about the right way to build something and take a lot of time to get it the best that can be done with the fewest resources used. No waste. Build it right and with few parts it does a lot. Don't cover things with more and more and more technology for features. Design them in from the start. It starts with the architect, of a home or a computer, working from a knowledge of the building materials and a desire to choose wisely.'"

    Your statement is Tu quoque.

    Just because they live in mansions doesn't mean there views on the environment are invalid.
    Now, If a rich mansion owners can create a mansion that is environmentally friendly, what's wrong with that?
    If it is successful, some of the idea may be incorporated in new houses saving even more resources.

    Your just whiny because you aren't rich.
