At that price.... sorry but Colorado is not South Dakota. Want to be green now? Live close to where you are schooling, rent -- ride a bike, walk to the grocery store etc. Should people live way the heck out there? Hell yeah, there are great exurbs and great reasons to live in them, but if you want to be green there is more to consider than windows and insulation.
No, it's just going to be more expensive and fewer people will build in that hell hole of hippie-crits.

while your right, there is a loop hole at the moment, if you buy an existing home, and do an addition, you don't have to meet the new home construction requirements in terms of energy, we have a 1200 sqft. house right now with a 6000 sqft addition on our desks. lol
the area is still a mecca for the trust fund hippies that do, and will build. But not like it was in the past.
