From clothes, to cars spending more often costs you less in the long run. In addition you enjoy the pleasures of the extra finery at the same time . When it comes to construction the benefits are exponential. Skip the granite counter tops and go straight to passive windows and a heat exchanger.
The Champlain bridge is a case in point. Saving $ 2 million in 1962 is now going to cost the taxpayer up to $5 billion in 2013. Road salting to combat ice played a large role in this debacle. So why don't we build new bridges and overpasses with heat pumped heating and not use any salt at all?
