Global warming is a hoax designed to support a new carbon tax as a
means to regulate oil consumption and maintain revenue streams for the
oligarchs in the post-oil world.
We can live a very good life if we get rid of politicians bureaucrats
regulators armies and police and get on with it letting the engineers
go.
I love this house
http://images.elephantjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/buckyfuller.jpg
Its a 16 meter diameter dome that consists of 30 pieces of glass each
2.2 meters in diameter - made using techniques that produce
windsheilds and 35 'Y' shaped pieces of metal - each with 2.2 m legs
- made using techniques that produce body panels.
Two floors that each fold into an 7.2 meter long and 2.2 meter wide
strip and fold out to a 7.2 meter diameter circle.
The first floor is placed on the ground and leveled. It is then
folded out into a 7.2 meter diameter circle and leveled. A set of
jacks are attached to the first floor. The second floor is placed on
these jacks. It too is folded out into a 7.2 meter diameter circle.
Jacks are installed on the second floor. Built into the second floor
is an articulated spiral stair case. The edge of the stairs are
released from the floor. The foot of the stair is attached to the
first floor with clips. The top set of Y units is installed on the
jacks along with the first dome window. The top floor jacks are
powered up raising the first dome section. A second row of Y units
and domes are installed and tied to the second floor. A self
contained fiberglass bathroom toilet set is attached to fixtures in
the second floor. Wiring, flexible piping and drains pass beneath the
stairs. These are attached to fixtures on the first floor and
tested. The jacks are then powered up to raise the second floor 1.2
meters above the first floor. A third row of Y units and circular
windows is attached. The second floor is then raised 2.4 meters above
the first floor. The top of the stairs slides along the stairwell
causing the stairs to fold. Columns built into the structure are
folded out and secured to tie the two floors together. These also
pass wiring and drains between floors. A self contained bathroom/
kitchen unit is installed in prewired fixtures on the first floor.
The fourth row of Y units and windows is attached and secured to the
first floor completing the unit. Two of the 30 windows are arranged
into dilating automatic doors, that have fold out steps to enter the
dhome.

The unit is also equipped with built in informational appliances -
projection displays and holographic sound system allow a variety of
interesting features. The windows can be made transparent opaque or
anything in between. They can also be made to glow in any color. As
the second floor is unfolded atop the first the base of roll away
screens built into the second floor are attached to the first so that
when the two floos separate, walls with roll away doors are
automatically created.

Foldaway and inflatable furnishing, along with all fabrics, decor,
cups plates, appliances, etc., come with the home. A small petrol
generator operates all the tools and systems and can be wired to a
power connection coming to the site, or operate stand alone after
erection to power the house. A water treatment system combined with
zero flow toilets and urinals eliminate the need for sewage hookup.

The tools and other equipment is part of the package and may be used
to disassemble and repackage the house for transport.
Toilet

while minimizing water flow.
The system is designed to collect rain water or river water, ultra-
filter it, and supply the kitchen with potable water. A special flash
evaporator attachment can be used to filter seawater or water
contaminated with industrial waste. This requires added energy which
the generator can supply, however, fuel usage roughly doubles. There
is also brine and wastewater discharge that must be thought through.
The composting toilets provide compost suitable for home gardening and
growing vegetables and fruits. Garden water supply may need
additional filtration.
876 square feet of usable floor space - all comes in a single shipping
container and can be installed by four people in six hours without any
special equipment on an unprepared reasonably flat site.
The cost is $210,000 plus delivery.
Delivery in sixteen weeks.
We're working on windmills and solar panels that will supplement and
displace the generator as well as biofuel and synfuel systems that
provide fuel for the generator and automobile.
