Actually, keep an eye out for mini-windmill power generation. An interesting idea that Enmax has started up here, that you would've seen if you had been at the Gore presentation.
I don't know all the details, but if clean energy is a priority for you, look into this in the near future. I'm sure more information will become available soon.
