Good intentions can be hard to follow through. Turn the energy market on its head by designing services that help people get together to find contractors, cut installation costs and trade home-grown energy.
Why not transfer the energy you produce to the local school when you leave the house in the morning? If you generate your own energy with wind or solar you could be selling your surplus at wholesale prices. Put a different value on homegrown energy by joining your local energy pool. Donate your surplus electricity to the pool when you’re out and draw from it when you’re at home to get the full value of what you and members of your pool are producing.
