In this interview Jerry and Robert discuss Robert’s WorldsNest research center in Taos, New Mexico, his prototype sustainable housing system that produces its own energy, recycles its own waste, fuels its own vehicles, and grows its own food. He explains how each component of the “living building” works and how the built-in rainforest greenhouses produce water to keep the system going.

Built from recycled materials, they are designed to withstand hurricane-force winds, earthquakes and fire and as remarkable as all this is, they are also designed to be built cheaply, pre-fab and on small lots, so Robert discusses his plans for revolutionizing third-world housing and potable water problems as well. He also discusses his program for “taking water from the air” in drought-stricken areas for agricultural uses.
