If money was not an issue, there is a good chance I could run my home on little or no fossil fuels. The technology is out there.
Here is what I would do...
First I would install two windmills. From the minimal research I have done, one windmill would give me a little less than half of the energy my home consumes.
Second, solar panels would be installed. I would install both photovoltaic and hot water panals.
Third, geothermal would be installed. This would help with the solar hot water panels. Then, this geothermal would help in cooling and heating the home. This combined with the hot water solar panels would greatly reduce the need of electricity to run a hot water heater. For that matter I would work it out to install an on-demand hot water heater. Not sure how that would work, but I'd figure it out
When the system is running at full power with excess, I would take the electricty and electrolyse water to make hydrogen. This hydrogen would be stored for future fuel cell usage. Potentially to power my automobile or any other mechanical device for that matter.
Lastly, with advances in batteries and fuel cells my automobile could certainly run on the excess electricity provided by the other means on the property.
Yeah, so money aside, I am going to make this happen. I just decided.
There will be a continuation of this post with the hope to elaborate on these technologies
...and they thought Einstein was crazy.
