Stop Buying Electricity

In my childhood the prevailing concept was that man is progressing himself and improving the environment around him. One excellent example was upgrading from burning coal to using nuclear power. I was proud for humans being able to master such an advanced science and technology. All this was up to 1986 when that advanced technology produced such an advanced pollution in Chernobyl. One can say that it was all because of undisciplined character of Russians, but today we can see how an act of God can produce the same disaster in Focushima in spite of the wonderful character of Japanese people. I am not sure that we absolutely have to tolerate this tremendous danger in our countries, next to our cities. There must be another way. Can't we start using more and more the free energy sun gives us every day? Some parts of the earth have sun all the time. In my city rains only in winter. My summer electric bills are much smaller. If we wished to do it, we could stop using coal and gasoline altogether. We could force our electrical company to have a summer vocation. We all can have electricity free of charge and stop buying from them.
