Green House

I just toured the WiredHome(+Living Homes) House showcasing the latest in eco-friendly architecture, technology and design. It's fabulous. Well decorated. Nice afternoon sun. And now I know why they call it Green. You're gonna need a lot of Greenbacks to park your fancy hydrogen fuel cell Beemer in that 4 car garage! It clocks in at just over $4m or in kinder terms $1000 per squre foot. Anybody have a subprime?
The house is set on a tiny plot--mostly slope in the uber-pricey Brentwood section of LA--the third B of the tony triumvrate of Bel Air & Beverly Hills. For that kind of money, I think I am going to need a little more land.
All the earth-friendly decor and fixtures are supposed to save resources but apparently not your financial ones. I did a little online virtual shopping and trust! you'll be burning serious green to trick the place out like they have it now. I checked, the house doesn't come furnished! I guess going green is really only for those who already got green!
