Florida State Univ. pushes ahead in solar powered house

Florida State University is breaking ground today for a prototype completely solar-powered house.

The Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering Center (SESEC) at FSU will discuss the construction of a new, energy-efficient building on the FSU campus. There will be examples of the technology to be used there like a grill using hydrogen and electrolyzer that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen and the fuel cell the center has developed.

The technology will be clean, green and cheap, good for the Third World and disaster relief situations here.

It's an example of how FSU is trying to push energy sustainability forward.

1. Not much on the link.

I used to know people who were living off the grid with small solar systems 15 years ago. The houses were comfortable, warm, well-lit and had all the convienences.

Without more information I can't say FSU has any improvement on the map.
