An article from Yahoo about a man who has managed, through a combination of solar, hrdrogen fuel cell and other renewable resources, lowered his energy bill is $0.00. As with most of these stories, which are worthy pursuits, they tuck away the fact that it cost the guy $500,000 to do it.
As an example, for me (admittedly a low energy user) it would take me some 33 years to make the system pay for the $80,000 solar panels versus regular energy!! Naturally, that is a pure dollars calculation, without examining the whole cost of environmental impact, but that is also the way consumers still think.
