Option #2: Build Zero Energy Homes.

Submitted by Bill Johnston, Boston, Mass.

Build 20.8 million Zero Energy Homes and have a big lottery for them. Or subsidize

Zero Energy Homes are constructed with sustainable building products, generate their own electricity with photovoltaic systems, and reduce energy consumption by up to 90% with other energy efficient features such as on-demand hot water heaters, radiant roof barriers, high-efficiency furnaces and appliances, tightly sealed ducts, extra insulation and low-e windows.
