West Virginia, Wyoming and parts of Texas are the only States where you can really build alternative and green. Ironic don’t you think?

I'm not sure what you're referring to, since there are alternative and "green" places here, but if you're talking about state and county building codes, there is a workaround. It's probably different for each state, but it involves having the title to your property, not the "color of title" the state gives you by acquiring a "land patent". It's not a quick and easy process, since the state wants to own your property, but once you have all water, mineral, forest rights, you actually own the land and can ignore codes.
🙂 i’ll check back after you’ve been on the land for a year. you’ll have a better idea what i mean.
I live in a county and state with some of the most strict codes (excluding CA's crazy requirements), and I can build in an environmentally sound way. I don't need to own land to know the "corporate regs" of my county or state.
Sounds like you’re doing your research. I wish you the best! 🙂
