It is doubtful we will reach our energy targets unless incentives
are provided for communities and individuals to step in with
solutions.  This means that incentives must be increased for
individuals to provide their own energy needs, and communities
must be given the option of pooling resources to buy green energy
on the private market.  Utilities are implementing solutions that
are not the most sustainable solutions possible, such as burning
waste, and are putting many millions into systems that will have
to be redone in the future.  It is vital that all sectors be
allowed and encouraged to move forward with solutions and to
implement them as quickly as possible.  This goes against the
grain of how many in government think (i.e. that only big
governments and big companies can solve the problem), but that
think has helped get us into this mess and at this point we need
everybody to bring their solution to the table - we need big
governments, we need big companies, but we also need to free,
encourage and facilitate the individual and small and large
communities both to act on local solutions as well.  We simply
will not meet our target otherwise, at the rate we're going.
