ManyMoose; The houses are very energy efficient and quiet. See there the good things that can be developed when we don't place false incentives for an industry. (You might want to use concrete instead of cement though.) Same with the oil industry. We have all kinds of false incentives that seductively make oil more attractive than it should be. Pollution and the war in Iraq for instance are never plugged into the price you pay at the pump. steve

>>I'm not opposed to building houses with cement at all. In fact, if I were building a house, I would use those insulated concrete forms that you stack up and leave in place. The houses are very energy efficient and quiet. And expensive.<< MM - So are you saying that concrete homes are too expensive? I find it hard to believe that people in Mexico are using building materials that are more expensive than we in the States can afford. I would also like to point out that repeatedly replacing wood frame houses that have been destroyed by hurricanes and tornadoes is a very expensive proposition in the long term. - Allen
