That's One Expensive Walk In Closet

A city spends builds a home that is completely solar powered. The idea is to show off to people that you don’t need that nasty evil electricity. You can live with only solar power.

First, the house is 800 square feet. That’s about equal to your standard studio apartment.

Second, the house cost almost $1 million to build. Expensive studio.

Third, the house has never opened. It seems the house has numerous problems, with the biggest being the flooding caused by heating pipes that froze over the winter and burst, causing $16,000 in damage to the floors.

One side says the heaters drained the batteries and the loss of power caused the freezing. The other side says someone turned off the breaker causing the loss of power.

Whatever happened, it’s not exactly a great advertisement for solar power.
