eco-house on the cheap! (fwd)

[Patrick Salsbury <salsbury at sculptors dot com>]

Got this one from Andy on the fuel-cells list. Thought the folks here 
would enjoy it, too. 

They also mention "biodiesel" in the article, and just last week I was 
looking at a book at Real Goods called "From Fryer to Fuel Tank" which 
gives a complete lesson in this fuel-source.

I currently drive a diesel VW Rabbit, and am humored by the idea of 
converting it to run on biodiesel that's gotten from fast-food joints. 
I'm not sure that I'm up for embarking on that specific experiment just 
yet, but I've filed it for future reference, and may get that book to 
check out more. 

Anyway, enjoy the article. It's pretty cool. :-)
