Through the resources above, many people will find that they have enough solar or wind to make a home electric system possible. But what if you don't? Or what if you decide that a solar or wind system doesn't make sense for you right now?

You don't have to give up on getting your electricity from renewable sources. Instead, consider buying green power from your utility. More and more utilities are offering consumers the option to buy their electricity from renewable sources, such as large wind farms and hydroelectric projects. You can learn more about green power here.

Also, there are many other ways to tap renewable energy, other than for electricity — for example for space and water heating. You can check out the dozens of articles on these topics at www.MotherEarthNews.com to learn more about solar hot water, passive solar design, and wood and geothermal heat. Enjoy exploring your options!
