Sustainability = Zero Carbon Emissions
- Designed around a unique zero-carbon vision – as a net energy exporter, 2070 Neher Lane will reduce global CO2 emissions each year of its operating life.- A combination of photovoltaic solar panels (10 khw), solar hot water system and passive solar design methods result in a house that generates more power than it uses on an annual basis.
2070 Neher Lane and the Future
This net-zero carbon emissions home is the result of technical innovations and creativity in the fields of renewable energy and sustainable construction.Investment and invention based on our concern for the environment will drive the growth of our economy over the next twenty-five years, just as the computer chip and the internet did during the last twenty-five.
America's achievements in this and related fields will be the basis for humanity's ability to address the economic and political crises created by climate change due to global warming, and for repairing the damage to our planet caused by massive industrial pollution here, and in the world's giant new economies in China, India and Russia.
Our country's realization of energy-independence (freedom from addiction to Middle Eastern and Russian oil), will do more to change the geo-political balance and create the conditions for world peace than any other factor potentially in our society's grasp in the coming century.
In 2070, America's place as the world's leading economic and political power, driven by our genuine concern for the planet and its people, depends on the realization of this vision.
