knoa and Billy,

Being more efficent is the first step. A compact florescent bulb pays for itself in 1 year or less . a old fashioned incadensent bulb make 90% heat and less than 10% light and we call it a light bulb ? It heats the air and if your colling the house with Air Cond that's dump. It uses 100 watts and a CFL compact uses 1/3 the power AND makes less heat.

Other simple items, shade sceens and over hangs, solar screens to block heat but not light. Energy star appliances, a cloths lines instead of a gas or electric dryer. It all adds up a lot.
