Interesting that Larry Hagman, the Oil Barren on Dallas, has gone green.
“People just don’t understand that when the end of affordable energy comes, it’s going to be chaos. What do we do to prevent that?â€
To that end, Hagman took his nine-bedroom, 18 000 square foot,14 1/2 -bathroom Mediterranean-style estate off-grid in 2003, causing his annual electric bill to plummet.
In his personal life, Larry Hagman had followed through his own words. The 78-year-old actor and his wife Maj own the largest residential solar-power system in the United States. Since he first installed the solar power system in 2003, the annual electric bill for his mountaintop home and 46-acre farm plummeted from $37,000 to $13 overnight, according to a press release.
