March 16, 2009 10:52 amI personally like the “we can solve it” site, we all should jump on board with this ambition, hopefully the cost of installing alternate energy systems will drop low enough for the majority of homes in the U.S. to be able achieve self sustainability. Thanks for the post, another great list of sites to browse.
