This home in Sarasota Florida has a roof that is covered with solar panels and no less than 7 flat panel HDTV's, 6 inside and 1 outside. The article touts this home as an example of 'efficiency through simplicity'. I am surprised that the author doesn't see the irony in associating a huge house with 7 TV's with the simple life. Don't worry about the evaporative water loss from those huge pools with built in fountains either. According to the article the house also 'saves water'. The rain is collected on the roof and is used in the horse stables. If only the 7 billion residents of our planet could all live this 'simply' ;-)

'Efficiency through simplicity'
I stumbled across this website that features a home which claims to have the best Home Energy Rating System (HERS) value in the country.
