Re: The Involved vs. The Apathetic -- odds anyone?
Frank,
You can get solar for a few bucks. try passive solar like insulation , solar screens or radiant barriers. They pay off very fast and you can do a little at a time.
The wind and PV systems are a bigger step but even those can be one step at a time. You can do a 1K grid tied system and add from there. I did my own in 2001 and have added to 2.5 KW now.
I didn't have net-metering but talked until we all have it now in the area. There were no incentives but I never wanted any. My system has already oaid for itself and is good for 40 more years or more.
