The Electricity Bill is Only Going Up
low cost energy.
While costs on all plants go up, wind, solar thermal, tidal/river gens you don't have to pay for fuel so vastly lower long term life cycle costs.
I can build from scratch for under $2k in parts a solar thermal generator with biomass back up burner and a 10' wingenerator easily handling my home, business and electric car I drive energy needs. So RE really is affordable even for the poor and handy. Built as a product would cost about $6k in mass production and one wouldn't need any other than maintaining them costs.
All of this is on the web. Join a RE group that people do this to find out wha works and what's a scam. But easily doable.
