I'll bet the utility companies and the oil companies hate guys like this ::G::.

This fellow has built a 3000-sq-ft house that not only runs entirely on solar power, but he has enough left over that he could sell back to the utilities if he wanted to. The only part that raises a flag in my mind is that his solar panel is on top of "a nearby building" instead of on the house itself. I also wish they gave some idea of the maintenance schedules/costs involved.

Still, it would be nice to have an arrangement like that, especially for places like where my parents plan to retire -- out in the middle of nowhere.
