Thanks, Eric... boring when we are in total agreement, hey? :-) but if it will help at all, I have written a short illustrated document outlining our options energy-wise.. as a fan of "copyleft" as opposed to copyright, anyone who would like an electronic just needs to ask!!
kind regards

Hi Muna, welcome to our group. You are absolutely right I also believe the cheapest energy is the energy you don't use.
Energy efficiency is the key at the moment but there will come a time, I believe, when we will need to take more responsibility for our energy production (or conversion if you want semantics :-)) and then we will need to asses what renewable resources are available in our immediate vicinity.
In the mean time we have to reduce the amount of energy it takes to maintain our current way of life and then when we need to power our communities from the sun or the wind or whatever our energy requirement will be far less onerous.
Nice comment Muna

energy is very much flavour of the day, given Eskom's song and dance in the field recently... may I suggest we also concern ourselves about our consumption? demand side management is the cheapest and quickest solution!!
