An energy efficient 5244 sq. ft. house?

This home under construction can be yours for only $927,000! 

Imagine...
... a home that saves you money by powering itself with renewable energy!
... a home that is better for the environment and healthier for you to live in!
... a tax bill of $22, 248 a year!

This can all be yours in your GIANT new "energy efficient" home! Just click here to learn more.

Doesn't this strike anyone else as an oxymoron? Don't these two concepts work against each other? Energy efficient vs. 5244 sq. ft.? 

I think the green concept was lost here. Green is about sustainability and the good use of space. While 5244 sq. ft. is about not liking your family as far as I'm concerned. Who wants to live in (or clean) a home that is so big you can ignore each other with ease? I've never understood "why bigger is better". It just makes no sense to me. Who needs a house this size?
