I agree, when I read the title, first thing I thought of "Haven't they been doing that the whole time?"I remember going to Silicon Valley and checking out a Renewable energy store (don't remember the name, was Sun-something, they have a neat little fountain in front of it, they're completely off the grid, have been for years, I think they still pay for water, but not much, since they lose water when people use the toilet and for watering grass and stuff) 8-10 years ago. That area of California has always been big on renewable energy and being green as far as I can think back.
This could be a good thing, If the energy businesses need anything, its new, untainted blood. perhaps a couple of these new comers will give the old guard of energy some competition the old guard will either have to push new technologies, or get the hell out of the way. It's a stretch I know, but here is to hoping.

Buried due to the unbelievably stupid headline.
