I wasn't suggesting people go move to the middle of nowhere and live "off the grid" but just use less energy (turn off lights when out of rooms, walk to the store when you can, shorter showers, turn off water between shampoo & conditioner, open the windows in the fall & spring) Solar panels and wind turbines are expensive, but hot water on demand water heaters and more energy efficient appliances have rebates and govmt. tax incentives. Get your house inspected to see if your insulation is good & windows are sealed tight. Some these are things that don't cost anything except you being a little more conscious of your habits.
I personally want to be so energy efficient that the power company has to give me money for the power I'm supplying, but thats a long way off from where I am now in my life, so I just do the little things to help.
