leasing laws in texas> water softener being serviced?
Under Texas law for renters should i have to pay for someone to come out and change the filters for a water softener and water purifier? Am i responsible for changing the filters under the sink and in the garage at all? Or is it the owner that has this responsibility? Isnt this considered an appliance?? This is not a run of the mill walmart filter you can just stick on there.. its pricey culligan system installed under the sink and in in the garage. One more question> do renters have to water the lawn? The grass is green and its kept up but the owner is wanting it watered… are renters really responsible for the watering of the lawn?
Anybody out there using a solar heated stirling engine to generate residential electricity?
I am a general contractor in Texas, I am currently designing a environmentally friendly home for myself and young family to live in. I am viewing my options on electricity generation, i.e PV with battery and invertor, bio diesel generators, solar powered stirling engine, possibly offsetting solar power with wind. I have a design for a trombe wall which will help cool the house in the summer and heat it in the winter. Solar powered H2O heaters are a no brainer, My brother in the UK has one and has an abundant amount of hot H20. The cooling system will probably encompass geo-thermal energy, again a lot of systems available, unfortunately for the masses these systems are more expensive than traditional energy sucking compressors and heat exchangers. Hopefully by the time I invest in renewable energy for my home the government will offer more than a $2000.00 TAX credit toward the investment.
If so please forward me details.

Why are the oil companies threatening to raise prices of gas if oil is “imported”? Are they too cheap to pay?
I’m talking about prop.87 which is supposed to allow for alternative energy sources such as wind and solar power. Those opposed to the bill are mostly oil companies which would be required to pay a tax on the oil produced in California. { I don’t know if this type of legislation is present elsewhere} But why would we have to import oil in the first place. The same thing was done in Texas and Alaska and no oil was imported from outside sources. Is this just a big scare by the oil companies to keep people from voting for this
proposition simply because it would hurt there pockets? I think that the oil companies have a duty to help stop air polution. And if it takes a bill such as proposition 87 to bring this about, then I think the oil companies can certainly afford it without passing the cost down to the consumer……..

Where can I find a house plan that incorporates renewable energy and ecologically friendly concepts.?
I want to build a new house that is as independent from the power grid as possible, and recycles as much water and waste and possible. This is in the Dallas, Texas area. I am interested in solar, wind and hydrogen energy hybrids.

Wind Farms?
DALLAS — Wind turbines supplying energy to homes and businesses will one day line Texas’ 376-mile coastline if the state’s Land Office Commissioner has his way.
The turbines will stand about 10 miles offshore, enough to preserve the treasured view but close enough to make coastal wind power an affordable energy alternative still missing in the United States, Commissioner Jerry Patterson (search) said.
Last month, the office announced a deal with a Louisiana contractor to build 50 turbines designed to power about 40,000 homes.

so a single turbine can power 800 homes?
that is pretty good.
