Your questions answered.

Edwards spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield emails:

"Yes, the house will be carbon-neutral, too. He made that decision when he decided to make the campaign carbon-neutral. He’s made a commitment to keeping both his home and his campaign carbon-neutral. "Also, important to note -- the Edwards home exceeds energy efficiency standards by more than 50 percent (easily surpassing Energy Star standards) through its high-performance insulation and windows, an efficient heating and cooling system, and energy-saving lights and appliances. The home also includes a solar hot water system, which typically reduces energy use by 20 to 30 percent."
