The environment pages of the Christian Science Monitor brings a question from a reader that I thought echoes a dilemma that many other people may have. The reader writes in to find out whether he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be better off subsidizing his utility\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s alternative energy plant or renovating his own home. The editors give a long answer but the short one is: it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s better to support your utility\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s efforts to provide green energy. To find out why that is so, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, for those who would prefer to go alone, an online tool called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In My Backyard\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/a>, provided by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, can help users get an estimate on how much power they could get in the area where they live, given the climatic conditions of the region.<\/p>\n

The main point is, of course, going green, whether independently or as part of a collective.
