As a follow-up, you can affect the way you, and people in your local area, get their energy in two ways - from the supply side and the demand side. From the supply side, one can stay politically savvy, write your senators and congresspeople, and vote for clean and alternative energy initiatives. From the demand side, you can send the message that this is what the people want by exercising your power as a consumer. Many energy companies give you the option of getting a percentage of your energy consumption from renewable sources only. It typically is slightly to moderately more expensive. I know my grandparents in New Jersey are doing this and many other states have similar options. If you really want to get involved, then there are many, many non-profit organizations seeking to help the environment. http://www.1sky.org/ is one of my favorites.
