The key to the future of energy is the decentralization of power generation. Too much money is wasted in subsidized schemes. If people could generate more power from home, things would be a lot better. There are plenty of guides out there on how to achieve this. Here for example is a good impartial review site on some of these guides: http://www.diyenergyathome.com/index.php/category/home-energy-guides/
