Also, I would like to mention Most Canadian homes have far greater insulation than anywhere else in Europe. Colder climates require the isolation during winter months. Also, easy to build homes may not be the option. Well built homes are. Also, with populations dense buildings are the eventuality. We can fit 400 people within 10000 square feet of area (building up). Oppose to five within 3000?

I am in support of wind power, but throwing this out there, the perpetual and eternal, isn’t factual. The turbines will eventually stop working, as do most power plants….

What’s the “American dream”?

A comfortable home, the ability to travel around, good food on the table, some toys. That seems to me to be what most Americans aspire to.

A few take it to excess. We make TV shows about them. But most of us don’t own monster trucks and wrestle alligators.

As long as we build using sustainable materials and power ourselves with renewable energy we can live the dream.

1800 MW of clean, radioactive waste free, renewable, perpetual, eternal, power Will this be used in sane fashion, or will it spur Brits on in the unsustainable American dream model? Time now for Swedish styled composting toilets to preserve drinking water, and keep its sources clean, time now for super-insulation homes of modest size, Straw Bale, or hemp-Crete block, easy to build homes? Electric bikes, trikes, and utilitarian electric vehicles? The “American dream” was based on the amazing “Cheap Oil Era” in the U.S. and that era is clearly over now, time to get back to reality folks!
