Eco Homes 101

ar asked:


Ok, i just want to start out by saying I believe the Global warming fanatics are nuts, and that the regulations they push on us hurt us, and if you need proof of that, look no further than what happened to this poor elderly woman: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1116088/Woman-91-dies-stressed-16-000-council-make-home-eco-friendly.html

That aside, i realize it is inevitable that there are going to be similar regulations and “carbon taxes” in my home country of the U.S., and i am planning on living in korea since my gf is from there and it is easy for me to get a teaching job, let a lone the expense of living is much lower.

Are there any global warming taxes or regulations that i should worry about in korea?

Does anyone have factual answers on how much energy it would save? I know you eliminate the use of your car but what about lighting, water and computer energy.
