The Home With No Energy Bills

This article is about Colorado University's Solar Decathlon house. The house employed energy efficient appliances, lighting, windows and most importantly employed solar panels to generate energy for the home. In using all these technologies, they were able produce more energy then they could use and were actually paid by the power company.

The article was interesting to me because it showed a practical approach to building green by using materials that can be easily found and used a house that was actually a mobile home.

After reading the article would you say that the Colorado University Solar Decathlon team approached the project in a way that was in fact practical?
