Summer got off to a late start in many parts of the US this year. Whether your region is in the dog days of summer or already beginning to cool down for the winter, it pays to find more efficient means of climate control. According to the EPA/DOE Energy Star website, as much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling.

U.S. and Canadian taxpayers funded the bailout of General Motors. Shouldn’t the new majority owners, therefore, have a voice in the business?

Just a quick update. The pile of chips is now 130+ degrees. I tested at depths of 6 inches, 24 inches and 48 inches and consitently get just over 130 degrees. It literally burns your hand if you stick into the chip pile.

This week Marc DeMario of Sunwood Systems (wood gasification furnaces and solar hot water) is going to help me with the water lines and next week I'm going to start packing down layers of chips over sections of the coiled water line.
