Nice house. Reminds me of the times when I've had someone offer up defense for having a brood of children. "Oh, they can afford them, they have lots of money." Right. Never mind the planet.

Money, "tread lightly" foot print, model of efficiency, big deal. 15,000 sq. ft. of living space is obscene. How about spending the money for that extra 10,000 sq. ft. toward something truly meaningful - giving a small energy efficient company a leg up.....seed money for a community "energy efficient transformation education" program........the charity of your choice? Foundation seed money for energy efficient, "green"design/materials for your local Habitat for Humanity? Anything you would consider socially redeeming would be better than 15,000 sq. ft. of living space.
