I have a draughty old house; that's why God invented sweaters and gym socks. In California I get a lot of sun during the summer; it's why God invented awnings if I need a cooler house. I wash only full loads of clothes, using cold water, and line-dry when weather permits. I use manual gardening equipment, figuring I can use the exercise--at 71, I retain the vigor to do so. I put myself mentally back into my "end of Depression" childhood -- fewer gadgets requiring electricity and less money to squander on them. It's amazing what can be done with at least one renewable energy source. It's called "elbow grease", and usually 6 or 8 hours rest replenishes the supply very nicely, thank you.

We need to develop renewable energy sources NOW, both to curb pollution of our already beleaguered planet and to cope with dwindling, finite supplies of conventional energies that have the additional drawback of keeping us dependent on other nations.
