1. Your next car, and every subsequent car, should be electric.
2. Install solar on your roof at the next opportunity whether that be a retrofit, replacing your shingles, or buying or building a new house.

3. Replace your furnace or gas fired heating system with electric heat pumps (and insulate and seal your home while you are at it). Install hydronic heating in your floors next time you re-do the floors.

5. As your life becomes increasingly electrified there will come a moment where a small home battery will make economic sense for you to install as a backstop to your own demands as well as in making the grid more robust.
