With reports in the Wall Street Journal, NBC News, and other media outlets, the news that the Japanese government has sponsored a "Zero Emissions House" in time for the G8 meeting in Hokkaido, Japan, is getting pretty big play on the Internets. The house showcases the latest green home products, from the wind turbine and solar panels that fuel it to the energy efficient lights and appliances inside. Did I mention the Honda Asimo robot that serves tea?
Here are a couple links for more info:
