I have wanted to build an eathship forever, but here in germany they would never ever, ever, ever give permission to have one built for fear of losing money. All the independent electricity supply companies will no longer exist, which would then puat a lot of stress on the state because they would have to pay unemployment to all those ex-employees. Think how much money they will lose if they can no longer charge what they want for water and electricity and no to mention sewage waste. They charge you for hot water as well as cold water and waste water as well as sewage. That´s all excluding heating costs and then electricity is separate as well. No ways in hell will they allow a nice eco-house even though they scream to the world that they are doing everything for the environment. They force their people to pay tax for their exhaust fumes and every little bit of household waste that get collected from the premises, saying that this all gets recycled to make the environment a safer place for our future generations. All a lot of bull, because all the laws they implement to save our environment brings in millions and gazillions of revenue. Do you really think that the governments will allow us to become independent of them. No-ways, we are slaves to others who run our lives like they feel fit.

Will the French authorities allow another earth ship to be built? We live 30kms from the French border near Colmar. If you can, please supply me with more information and what the earthship cost to build. If the French authorities are not so greedy maybe we stand a chance to build one there too………
