Hi Alec
 AC> But to be practical, there is a lot to say for cutting your
 AC> consumption. Per capita, North America has an astounding appetite for
 AC> all forms of energy. 
 AC> * wear warm clothing in winter, use fans not airconditioners
 AC> in summer.
I doubt that one will go over well with the other half.
 AC> * insulate the house effectively.
Done that.
 AC> * buy food daily, dump the frig.
Can't do that, I'm disabled.
 AC> * learn yoga or other inward self contemplation so you always
 AC> feel happy, healthy, comfortable in spite of the horrible
 AC> privations you will suffer.
Uh huh.
 AC> The frugal life style will save you money. It could become possible to
 AC> survive within the restraints of the solar energy [elec and hot water]
 AC> that you are able to afford.
Been there.
 AC> Payback? No way! You will have to work and pay for the responsible,
 AC> deviant lifestyle you choose. You have profoundly handicapped yourself
 AC> by deciding to stay in a suburban site. Silly!!  Cheers....ALEC
