I'm not a huge fan of TreeHugger. Interesting stuff... but a little too obsessed for me sometimes. But I like this piece from them on the on creating houses that are fossil fuel free.

I realized a while ago that change is difficult, not so much because of the price or the pain involved, but because of the vested interests involved.

Citing studies from the likes of Shell Oil and the German Economics Ministry, Leggett claims that contrary to what naysayers will tell you, it is perfectly possible to power the entire world with renewable energy technologies much sooner, and much cheaper, than most pundits would have you believe.

Okay, I'm a little skeptical. But it's interesting reading.
