  1. Start investing in (green/cheap) power
  2. Dynamic contracts (off-peak charging)

Pulling oil from the ground is so much less sustainable, and it will only get more expensive

I would love to see some hybrid cars that run gas get converted to propane (like the rental trucks at Lowe's) so you're now even cleaner and less dependent on fossil fuels (though still reliant on natural gas).

I would imagine running a Chevy Volt-like vehicle where the gas engine functioned more like a generator, running propane, would get pretty far on a small LPG cylinder!
