Renewable energy sources are available if people would just make the change. It does require a change in lifestyle as I’ve opted to live w/o AC (I have fans) or TV…….I do have refrigeration. Not a big deal. It’s funny to have solicitors call and tell me I can lower my power bill…..I’m off the grid and I get to read a lot.
