The mural at Energy and Security Group’s home office was designed and painted by Thayer Tomlinson and Kristin Stroup from 2005 to 2006.It measures roughly 5’ by 10’.The mural depicts a sustainable, completely self-sufficient village in Tuscany—with a large town square, rambling countryside, agricultural fields, and many forms of sustainable energy.Large wind turbines create energy; a smaller windmill pumps water; solar panels (both photovoltaic and solar thermal) are installed on many rooftops and on streetlamps; a waterwheel harnesses the river; the village receives heat from a geothermal heat pump; and biomass (from both plants and animals) is utilized for heat and power.
