Portland, Oregon, home to 'net zero':
'The future is efficient and renewable'

When Ryan Shanahan, 41, decided to buy a house in Portland, Oregon, he knew from the start that he wanted his future home to be "net zero." To be net zero is to cut greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions reabsorbed from the atmosphere, by oceans and forests, for instance, according to the United Nations. "My mantra is that the future is efficient, electric, and renewable," Shanahan tells CNBC Make It. He is a zero-energy retrofits manager at Birdsmouth, a zero-energy housing company. He advises clients on how to convert their existing

Comments:

They actually spent over $60,000 but government handouts and various tax credits lowered the bill. By the time it's all paid for the appliances and solar panels will be due for replacement.

And where are you going to put the old solar panels and car batteries that NEVER DECOMPOSE? The car batteries will leach into the earth and into the groundwater. Windmill blades never decompose either. But for today they think everything is OK. No vision for the future.

A few weeks ago, a neighbor's solar panels caught on fire. The fire department sent three firetrucks and spent over an hour putting out the fire and ripping off all the panels. They were nearing the end of their useful life and apparently shorted out.

Let's see, $60,000 for an electric car and throw in another $50,000 for the house (not counting the original price of the house). How much disposable money do most of us have just sitting around? I would say not that many.

Portland, Oregon is rated as the third cloudiest city in the country with 222 days rated as cloudy. The solar panels on this house will not provide their energy needs for most of this time.

There are common sense ways to reduce dependency on electric and gas. Farmers had SMALL windmills that pumped their water. That small windmill could produce electricity for the homestead. A running creek or river with a dam can produce a fair amount of electricity (and used to until the environmentalists got in the act). How about renewable wood for heating? Most woodstoves today produce very little pollution. Instead of thinking BIG, power companies need to think smaller - but then people wouldn't be paying so much $$ for the electricity produced.

Total annual electric bill....$1,100 before, $285 after. So they save $815 oer YEAR. They SPENT way more than the $48K, but the taxpayers of Oregon were forced to pay part of their foolishness. So - the save $815 per year, and EVEN ignoring the time value of money, they will take 59 years to break even. The ACTUAL cost was $61K, so the break even is 75 years. And with the time value of money, currently at about 6-7%, they will take FAR longer to break even. They will NEVER get any actual economic benefit in their lifetimes. Stupid, stupid, stupid....but then - they are leftist, which REQUIRES them to be stupid. And they have proven it.

I have no problem with trying to keep one's environmental footprint to a minimum. But the damage done elsewhere in the world with rare earth mining is enormous even if hidden from these and other Americans. More importantly, I had to read this twice but it would appear this couple is childless. So who are they doing all of this for? I can assure them, Gaia doesn't give a damn. There is no future without children.

I hate to burst his bubblehead but trees and plants absorb and process ALL of the CO2 they can get their hands on or else the Earth's atmosphere would have been poison to humans centuries ago. The only way we can kill the atmosphere is by cutting down enough trees to overpower their ability to process CO2 into O2. Do not fall for climate scams because every "solution" is a scam.

Without CO2 there would not be photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis the veggies these two eat, they are vegans right?, won't grow and the corn steers eat won't grow so no Big Macs. Besides the Chinese made solar panels the other tax payers paid for far exceed any pollution they might mitigate. Pixie dust lies and unicorns, it's the amerikan way.

Gee, not too many years ago the whole environmentalist thing was all about saving the rain forests because they were “Earth’s lungs”. Back when I was in grammar school in the late fifties we learned about the exchange of CO2 and oxygen between plants and animals and how neither could survive without the other. Now the crazies are cutting down the rain forests in order to mine minerals used in EV’s and ignoring the fact that not a single one of their predictions in over 50 years has actually come to pass. Ron White is right - you can’t fix stupid. Or fanaticism.

Just a minute here. After taking a look at the pics in the article, a few thoughts - 1. The minerals required to construct the solar panels comes from both the oil and gas and mining industries. 2. The chemicals in the paint on the house comes from both the mining and oil & gas industries. 3. The roofing shingles are petroleum-based composition shingles, the ingredients again come from the oil and gas and mining industries. 4. Hmm...I seem to notice the electrical power lines tied into the house. I wonder how the electricity is generated (hint- it isn't all from hydrogeneration). 5. The plastic used to manufacture their lawn chairs comes from the oil & gas industry. 6. The color dyes in the couples' clothing comes from both the oil & gas and mining industries. 7.The plastic used to manufacture the buttons used to keep their shirts closed comes from the oil and gas industry. 8. The cotton used to manufacture their shirts was made possible using fertilizers and chemical products that come from the oil and gas industry. 9. The metal clips used to hold the woman's bra closed comes from the mining industry. 10. The plastics used to manufacture their ecar come from both the mining industry and oil and gas industries. 11. The battery in the ecar was manufactured with chemicals that come from both the mining industry and oil and gas industries. 12. The nails and hardware used to build the house come from the mining industry. 13. The couples' dental fillings consist of materials produced by the mining industry. 14. All of the interior furnishings, appliances, plumbing, and electrical wiring in the house are produced using products from both the oil and gas and mining industries. 15. By the time you strip the couple, their bodies, and their house of anything that came from the oil and gas and mining industry products, they would be standing there butt naked on an empty lot. 16. Yep, Ryan and Megan, you are about as two-faced, fake, and "net zero" as a couple can be.

Last summer we had some solar panels installed. Am I worried about the environment so much I just had to do this? NO. I wanted to save a bit on our electric bill. Since October, our electric bill has averaged just the connection fee to the grid. I pay just under $200 a month for the panels. We are saving close to $100 a month. Not a lot, but the money stays with me. Thing they don't tell you is for you to have solar power when the grid goes down, you need batteries. $10k-$13k per battery depending on size. I guess someone could straight wire it. But we are saving money overall. As for forcing this on all of us, NOPE! It was a choice, not a dictate. I do not plan to cut back on driving or anything else for the "climate". Let innovation develop new ways to use the energy sources we have that will be cleaner. Do not dictate. Ever check the stats out for how much cleaner coal burning is today compared to how clean it was 50-75 years ago? We can clean things up, and probably will not cost an arm and leg. Might even end up being generational improvements in equipment.

I’m only going to address where this property is at. It’s on a city lot, which means small. It’s in the middle of four busy streets, there’s no view, no trees, and no privacy. It’s in Portland. They will never recoup the extra costs they invested in it in their lifetime. There’s zero chance I’ll buy this house.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland is about to be one of the first cities in the U.S. with blocks dedicated as a zero-emission delivery zone, thanks to a $2 million grant the city received. The Portland Bureau of Transportation announced Tuesday that the money will support creating a 16-block area in downtown where all deliveries must be made using zero-emission vehicles. These vehicles can include electric vans and trucks, cargo bikes or hydrogen-fueled vehicles. The goal is to reduce traffic from heavy trucks in the downtown area.
