As an aside to all the necessary and important conversation about societal infrastructure investment, I think back to something I noticed when I was a teenager

As an aside to all the necessary and important conversation about societal infrastructure investment, I think back to something I noticed when I was a teenager spending a lot of time in my basement on my computer as I'm sure a lot of us did. One thing I noticed was that although it wasn't heated very well, it was cool in the summer and relatively warm in the winter. I wonder if we'll see any renewed interest in earth-sheltered homes after this whole episode. There are of course challenges with them (mortgaging restrictions, dealing with moisture over time), but you get a lot of mileage out of it. It's not just high lifetime energy savings, it's also insurance against freezing to death in these kinds of situations.
