My article this week is called, "Inside the Solar-Hydrogen House: No More Power Bills--Ever" by David Biello. It is about how a 51 year old man, Mike Strizki, has not paid an electric, oil or gas bill in two full years using the fuel from the system he built in his own garage, consisting of photovoltaic (PV) panels to turn sunlight into electricity that is harnessed in turn to extract hydrogen from tap water. The total cost of the device was $500,000. Although this is more than what oil and water bills would ever add up to, Mike Strizki says that it is priceless as to what it does buy-not ever paying another heating or electric bill again and most importantly helping the environment and non contributing to pollution.
Here is a link to pictures of the house and inside of the garage:
