Solar hot water with a backup, preferably gas. Why is that not mandatory on all houses? My backup doesn't get used for 8 months a year. Simple, cheap, reliable and proven.
Walk to work or bus or train or bicycle.
I don't own a clothes drier or dishwasher and don't miss them. When the heater is on doors are shut, particularly the toilet and bathroom.
