Change is the hard part (and expensive) unless it's gradual but 
changes are coming. With the increased demand (world wide) on energy 
the cost will continue to rise. People being people they (me) will 
continue to use as much energy as needed as long as I can afford it.
I see no reason to 'force' the change that will happen by itself.


I'm not a fan of change but roll with it, the last few month have 
been nothing but change for me.

Technology is an option but it's nothing you can bank on, it is 
something you can hope for. Of course you have to remember to be 
careful about what you wish for....
