They actually did not skip this step, but they don't mention it until Episode 10, about the water systems. They go intro greater detail about the heated floors (which use water of course) as well as the solar heated water and the gray water systems. I understand why they broke it up like they did, but I would have liked to have seen all of the details on the floor heating system in one show so it wasn't so confusing. See 3 other replies

Michael,

Fly ash used in concrete is fly ash that's not leaching heavy metals into the water table somewhere. Honestly, the seething jealousy in these comments is appalling. You're even making things up to complain about. See 9 other replies

Rachael,

Jealousy is toxic. Find yourself a good shrink who can help you come to terms with the fact that some people can afford things that you can't. See 9 other replies

Maybe you can save the planet if you just pour out more contempt on the people who make choices that you don't approve of. Seriously " middle class McMansion drones "? Who died and made you pope, you self-righteous jerk? See 9 other replies

You know. If you know so much, you could make one yourself. That would be a great show. Low-income people can use that information and to lower their energy costs. See 3 other replies
