    Hi all,

    I ran across this ad for the upcoming Build It Green Expo this Friday and Saturday (3/13 and 3/14) at the Phoenix Convention Center:

    Southwest Build it Green Expo & Conference | azbigmedia.com

    Admission is free with coupons from the paper or website.

    I know this is not entirely Prius related, but I figure there are a few owners who might be interested.

    This Expo lists a very large and impressive group of exhibitors, including American Solar who did my roof panels. I hope they have a big turnout.:cheer2:

    Wish they'd come to Missouri...we intend to build a green home in a couple years and need to get some ideas.

    Unfortunately I missed the event due to a project at work that has been consuming all of my time.

    I'm not sure what construction method you are considering, Evan, but you might want to look into Insulated Concrete Forms for the structure:

    It was very good. I went on Sunday after church. Some great information, lots of solar companies. I was very impressed.

    Even a plug-in prius with 40 mile all electric range up to 50 mpg. That's top notch.
