If you read the paragraph from the FOMC statement highlighted in red and add to that all of the new programs and bailouts paid for by "We the People", it leads me to the following questions. •Shouldn't the consumer, after decades of over-consumption, be allowed to digest the over-indebtedness and save, rather than be encouraged to take risk?

We have plans underway to build a set of Passivhaus/Activhaus row houses ... aimed at downsizing, retiring boomers {these houses should come-in with annual energy consumption costs in the range of $150 - $250 basis ... which, if an Activhaus would be more than offset by on-site renewable production}.  

That might be more than 3 pounds worth, but I'd think getting on Ken's mailing list for his newsletter would be necessary reading for dealers or operators trying to do seller financing in this environment today.There is a lot of bad information out there, there is somewhat of an art to interpreting financial rules, regulations and law and they are not written for public consumption, in fact, they aren't really written for the average attorney but for specialists in that arena. :) 

The variables include the net metering agreement available from the utility, the cost of electricity from the grid  in the area, the amount of electricity consumption by the inhabitants (annual usage), and of course the physical characteristics of the property (size/orientation/roof pitch/ type of roof/annual irradiance/shading/existing electrical panel).

I pushed back hard but at the end of the day she laid out the possibilities for income with less time consumption of doing single clients, couples, and families. 

If you can't off-set ALL of your power consumption on-site, you can still offset some, and retain that Utility distribution charge savings for what you generate there, then fill in the rest at the Community site...   

They supply the meters that report consumption via dial up.  

water Submetering system for your property, help increase the noi and reduce the water consumption by 25%-30% monthly. 

@Ben Leybovich  I personally think oil is a crazy win/win buy right now and probably will be for the 1st quarter of 2015 although who knows if it will stay this low or go lower. we all use oil/fuel so if its cheap then we are benefiting by lower cost for our consumption, if the costs go up then we win by being long in oil, win/win!

Look at inventory consumed and consumption in cycles, then you can deduct for waste and arrive at cycles run/income.
