This guide begins by outlining the probable impacts of fossil fuel shortages and basic facts about energy. It then discusses energy conservation and ways to decrease energy bills and prepare for renewable energy options. It focuses on specific strategies needed to replace specific fuels and the practicality of energy options available to homeowners.
