Think about the average home you sell after reading this.
This is a simple way to understand energy waste………..The watt is a unit of power, equivalent to the joule-per-second. One joule is about the amount of energy it takes to raise a 12 ounce can of soda 1 foot. A 60 watt light bulb uses 60 joules-per-second, so the power it consumes could raise a 24-can case of soda 2.5 feet each second. Most tables are about 2.5 feet above the floor. Next time you leave a 60-watt light bulb burning while you're not in the room, imagine how tired you'd get lifting one case of soda onto a table every second for an hour or two. That's the mechanical effort required at the generating plant to provide the 60-watts of power you're wasting. If don't need the light, turn off light bulb! And that’s just ONE bulb!!!!!

All that is changing with a first of its kind community in Kent Island located in Queen Anne's County, MD. The Homes at Osprey Pointe by Nexus EnergyHomes is a zero carbon footprint waterfront community, the produces it own power from renewable energy, re uses its own water and is completely green.
The first question most people ask is "who can pay for all that?" Surprisingly the price to buy a singly family home at Osprey Pointe starts below that of comparably sized town homes less then 1 mile away.
I think this project is a win for the MD area and for the US. We need more of this type of project moving forward. At the moment this builder has other communities in the North East located in:
