\nIn this AP article<\/a> it’s explained that a State Senator from Virginia is staying in solar-powered home designed by Virginia Tech engineering<\/a> students. Frank Wagner is using this as a means to raise awareness of renewable energy and self-sufficiency by living in the house outside the Science Museum of Virginia<\/a>. While the experience hasn’t been bug-free – during a 20F night the water supply froze – it has proven viable. This is a custom 800 square foot dwelling that is more of a prototype than anything else, but it’s great to see Wagner and the students make a public point on the subject.
\n
\nCongrats to the folks out in Virginia for doing this, it’s a worthwhile exercise.
