Totally agree KRL
Got a project under design/planning right now (tho won't be implemented till late 2007 or shortly after), based on the principle of sustainabilty and utilising solar energy, rainwater and even the sewage and waste from properties where this is converted into usable resources.
The sewage is on test now and converted from shit and crap to water that is of drinking standard. It's currently being pumped into a fish pond and the fish are doing just fine
The water is chorline-free and ideal for swimming pools etc. Solids are converted to fertiliser.
Power required for homes can be (least in this region of the world), 100% solar. The efficiency of solar cells has vastly improved and appears they can be improved possibly 100 or more times yet.
