I heard this show as well and it sounded very cool.  I checked out the 
web site, and it is really weird.  I found the web site very 
off-putting.  That's nice that their house produces the fuel that runs 
their enormous stretch Hummer limousine.  I think it is more telling 
that they have an enormous stretch Hummer limousine.  This is the kind 
of sustainability that the super rich can have, I don't see what value 
it has for the rest of us.  That house must have cost at least ten 
million dollars.  Barbara Streisand will probably get a house like that, 
the rest of us are still screwed.  It's not clear from the web site what 
they are doing besides building their own sustainable mansion, not that 
there is anything wrong with that (I would do it too, if I had the 
money), but I don't see what good it does for the rest of us.  I'm 
really not sure what to make of these people.
