Alright, I have made some new friends, spent weeks now (every second I haven't been working, eating, or sleeping) studying, and we have purchased our land. Tonight I decided to go ahead and buy the Earthship Volume 1 & 2 books. Found a deal, both for $50. All the research I have done has been great, but there is so much more I need to know so I hope these books will fix that problem. There is also a video of a couple that built an Earthship like the one we want to build from start to finish. I am trying to justify spending $28 + shipping. We'll see. I am also considering building a couple wind turbines now as well. I have found so much info and solar power and wind power on the internet. Anyways, that's all. I'm off to bed, night.
