@pbsnews: New Mexico's 'Earthships' offer unique model for living off the grid This summer’s extreme heat and the demand for air conditioning are putting a big strain on the electricity grid in many parts of the nation. But for more than 40 years, a pioneering architect in New Mexico has been building a unique kind of home that can be heated and cooled without using any electricity at all. Special Correspondent Megan Thompson reports. #newmexico #extremeheat #heatwave #earthships #architecture #electricitygrids #earthship #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour
Profits over people could never. 😭 This is so cool!

That Kim guy hit the nail right on the head. I had Earthship Biotecture give me a quote to build just the shell of a 3 bedroom Earthship and it was $750k. I took all the principals of earthships

But what happened when those tires degrade? Cancer producing ?? Contaminate the ground water??

Earthships are so beautiful. I wish municipalities supported way more of this type of building.

Recycling ♻️is a scam. About 80% of the recycling is shipped to china. Or in the ocean

I stayed in one of those, looked like it was that exact one. It’s cool but kind of musty. Just feels like air sits in the house and no circulation.
