WIRED Magazine is setting up a custom house celebrating all things modern and high-tech and they've chosen the BMW Hydrogen 7 to occupy the garage. The WIRED LivingHome is supposed to 'serve as an example of how people can effectively balance green living with high technology and high design." How you go about reconciling green living with a 4,057 square foot house is questionable. Even with a Gold rating from United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED® for Homes Program, a house that big filled with all the latest gadgetry is going to consume a lot of energy. If WIRED really wanted to set an example for green living they would start with a much smaller building and make it as efficient as possible. And the garage would be occupied by something much more practical and efficient than the Hydrogen 7. If they wanted to demonstrate sustainability they would choose a vehicle that doesn't use liquid hydrogen which must be vented as it boils in the fuel tank, eventually running dry as it sits parked.
