KT, you would be amazed at how much willing the general public (mostly poor and from rural areas) is to adopt alternative means of power, conservation of energy and harvesting rain water to increase the water table below them for their fresh water needs.

I can speak for my area about 20 years ago, the cheap and innovative tricks people in my father's village used to employ. Simple things like installing Biomass for their fuel needs which used the traditional gas stove, trying to be innovative in creating home made solar cookers or whatever. Uniquely place different sized rocks and stones in a way that whenever it rains, the water is retained to max extent rather than draining away to streams and rivers. I see success to alternative fuels in the east rather than United States.

Give me Hummer or give me death is not the motto over there :-)
