"Forget the Jetson's, this is the house of the future -- a dwelling that killed fewer trees on its way to the neighborhood, saves its owner a raft of cash on energy bills, and rescues the planet with every ounce of carbon dioxide that it doesn't waste.  Take heed, because in decades to come all homes will be built this way.  For the sake of our grandchildren, we simply can't afford to build them any other way."
