This statement is getting closer... but the numbers are still off... At this point green solutions are probably only about 30% more expensive than non-green(and getting cheaper every year).

And that's the thing.. if they're getting cheaper every day, eventually they'll become the rational alternative.

I look forward to home solar and the supporting technology. The prices aren't quite there for me but I think they will be in the next five years.

In the meantime, I grew up being told "turn off the lights to save electricity!" and now with more efficient bulbs, power consumption is down about 80-90% to where energy for lighting is rounding error.
