by gummy , I knew there was tech for that ! All we need now is to find someone to build us a backback and we , each will be able to reduce our carbon footprint to ZERO.
How GREEN is that ???tongue in cheek of course . . . .

Costa Rica got 100 percent of its energy from renewables for 75 days straight this year, the state-run Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) announced this week. “The year 2015 has been one of electricity totally friendly to the environment for Costa Rica,” ICE announced in a press release .
The Latin American country hasn’t had to use fossil fuels at all so far in 2015. In addition to hydroelectric power plants, Costa Rica has invested in wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy. http://www.sciencealert.com/costa-ri...gy-for-75-days

How green are you godwit? How do you get your energy? What vehicle do you drive? How big is your house? Where do you get your food?

We can't install hydro due to water regulations, that make it illegal to get near water, let alone install something in it. The Mississippi has almost 40 dams already built, but due to the EPA, DNR, Federal Zoning and Regulations, etc., the hydro thing is out. If you send all those agencies over to Costa Rica, lets start building. Fat chance, as Al Gore won't be able to play make-believe crisis anymore.

Personally, I love the idea of sustainable energy. I would love to build a small house in the country and run it on solar, wind and hydro if available. Certainly not forced by government, but just to be freer/independent of utilities.
Unfortunately, liberals shot themselves in the foot through government GSE's. Housing sizes have doubled since 1970 which has led to higher utility usage.

The Obama administration said Friday it is tightening rules on fracking with regulations that it says will preserve the oil and gas extraction method while protecting water supplies and the environment.Keep reading
The new rules, which take effect in June, require oil and gas companies to disclose the chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing and to build large barriers to shield nearby water sources.
Environmental groups complimented the new rules on fracking, though some said the administration should simply ban the practice.
Members and supporters of the oil and gas industries denounced the new regulations and said they will damage a booming energy industry. Some immediately filed suit against the administration.
In announcing the new rules, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said current well-drilling regulations are more than 30 years old, “and they simply have not kept pace with the technical complexities of today’s hydraulic fracturing operations.”
The new rules provide “a framework of safeguards and disclosure protocols that will allow for the continued responsible development of our federal oil and gas resources,” Jewell said.
Industry groups immediately filed suit against the new regulations, calling them an overreaction to unsubstantiated environmental concerns about fracking.
“At a time when the oil and natural gas industry faces incredible cost uncertainties, these so-called baseline standards will threaten America’s economic upturn, while further deterring energy development on federal lands,” said Barry Russell, president and CEO of the Independent Petroleum Association of America.
Republican members of Congress also denounced the new regs. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., said they “represent yet another attack on American jobs by President Obama, and continue his attack on American-made energy.”[..]
Dan Chu, senior director for the Sierra Club’s Our Wild America Campaign, said the new rules “represent important progress,” but “the only true way to protect communities from fracking is to not frack at all.”
Said Chu: “Even as the Obama administration works to lessen the harmful consequences of current development, they can advance the clean energy growth noted by Secretary Jewell, reduce the climate impact of new mining and drilling and protect public lands by making sure dirty fuels stay in the ground.”
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
“As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”
"You think a wall as solid as the earth separates civilisation from barbarism. I tell you the division is a sheet of glass."
