Today's Featured Radio Guests:

Mike Sykes - Founder and inventor of Enertia Building Systems, Grand Prize winner in the 2007 History Channel Modern Marvels Invent Now Challenge.

Three basic, millions-of-year-old principles of nature, combined with state-of-the-art windows, radiant coatings, and prefab manufacture, make it possible, and practical. The principles are inertia, thermal currents, and the energy capacity of wood.
