Answer 1

Make your house into a solar trap for winter and a self ventilating and shaded haven in summer.
This can be achieved in winter by use of an expanse of windows facing the noon sun, with an internal heat absorbing concrete floor and/or internal wall, double glazed windows, straw bale or similar high efficiency insulation on the cool side of the house, and closeable roof vents and prevailing wind funnels. To reduce heat in summer you need to have eaves or pergolas with appropriate shading angles that they stop summer sun but allow the lower winter sun through. Opening vents in the ceiling space and in prevailing wind traps encourages cooling. Internal mass of concrete also helps stabilise temperature and therefore saves energy for both heating and cooling.

Answer 2

It will have to be or we're screwed. The human race needs it so we'll make it happen, but not before we burn every last drop of oil on this planet. The technology is available now but its a little more expensive than fossil fuel. So we'd rather have a new ipod than fix things up for our future kids. F*ck em. Let them sort it out right.....
