Between solar energy, and grey water tanks you can get most of the water and energy you need to run everything you need residentially and even a lot of commercial sites. Keep everything hooked up to the grid and water supply for emergencies, but for the most part, you're good to go.

I always wonder why you don't hear more about the methan from garbage dumps being used to generate power?
If everyone put a few panels on their roof just to offset their power needs a little bit, it could make a big difference overall.
A small geothermal heatpump, a couple solar panels. How large of a dent would that put in energy requirements?
Google says it will pay off for them in 7.5 years. Is there any way it could pay off for an average consumer?
