[GSBN] Question for you

[Joyce Coppinger]

The other day I was asked this question:

If strawbale is such a good building method and material, can pass codes,
can be insured, can be funded through mortgage or other lending, uses a crop
residue that is annually renewable and might otherwise go to waste, has a
high energy-efficiency value, can be built in most climates, if not all, can
be built rather easily by owner/builders or professional builders, why
aren't there more straw-bale buildings being constructed?
