Just another reason this 4th Generation Californian is looking to get the hell out of this Cloud-Kukoo land. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69561 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69561 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 23:19:30 -0600 Thank you all for reminding me why I retired on the right coast! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69557 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69557 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:21:37 -0600 This reminds me of the news story I saw on Fox News this morning about the CA man who's been ordered to cut down (yes, CUT DOWN) some redwood trees he planted about 10 years ago because they are now shading his neighbor's solar panels ... which were installed AFTER the trees were planted. They apparently have a law for this.

The heat rises and helps maintain the heat in the living quarters. They could use the fertilizer for growing food and improving their lawns. Water tanks on the top of the house that are heated by the sun. Lots of windows for natural sun light. You know, why don't they just look up some ancient Romans and learn some real energy efficient engineering? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69548 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69548 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:54:37 -0600 Better tell my Luditte Factor to start practicing bottling her **er** FRATS, in advance to our move to the Left Coast. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69547 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69547 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 16:34:19 -0600 easy: cold fusion. next question? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69545 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69545 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 16:02:40 -0600 So, California houses must, by effect, live "off-the-grid". Well, there are two ways to for that to happen. Either they must become their own electrical stations or they can become like your recent 1850's Kansas 'Living History' homes": They just have no electricity at all. The builders certainly know which is cheaper to make. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69537 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_11_feb_1.html#comment-69537 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 13:31:07 -0600
