    Lightbulb Featured on my University's Home Page

    Wanted to share a recent achievement with you guys:

    University of Nevada, Reno

    Over the last year, I have actively been involved in a few business competitions related to renewable energy and emerging technology solutions. It's been an amazing ride, and things have really been coming together over the last few weeks.

    I'm part of team Envirohaven. We're a group of students working to revolutionize the green housing industry by manufacturing self-contained, energy producing and efficiently designed home packages that can be easily assembled anywhere. Our goal is to provide sustainable living solutions for business, government operations, and single-family home markets.

    We just presented for another competition today, but we don't get to find out the results until the 9th. We've collected two 1st Place awards last month, and if we get this one, the business will become a reality this summer.

    Anyway, no Facebook "likes" required or anything, just wanted to share this with you all. This has been whats up in my neck of the woods.

    Very well done that man!

    Green needs a few more revolutions, I think.

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    Cool stuff man! Sounds like such a fun project to work on.

    "We have the first sustainable home package that is complete with an energy generation system to live free from public utilities - gas and electric," said team member Clint Borchard, a senior majoring in management. "We will manufacture it and assemble it for residential, business and government customers."

    I've always wanted to give the utilities the middle finger

    Thanks guys.

    I remember awhile back there was a thread for preppers here, but it seems to have disappeared. You guys are part of who we're marketing to, but a lot of it will also be used for disaster relief and humanitarian efforts. Should be interesting to see how this all turns out.

    Do it, man. If it's even moderately successful you can sell the business in a few years for tens of millions... So you can self-fund the next one
