Solar-Hydrogen House

This guy has the right idea on how to get off the grid, and is actually acting on it.
Mike Strizki, a civil engineer, living in East Amwell New Jersey, has discovered a method of making fuel out of sunlight and water. He generates enough electricity and hydrogen to heat and cool his home, and power his hydrogen-powered and electric-powered cars.
Imagine never having to stop at a gas station again, or paying a utility bill. Or being able to power your house from your car.
More details here.
He offers a great alternative to batteries for storing electricity by using hydrogen.
It might take a few years to make the cost of this system affordable, but it shows great promise for a new hydrogen-electric economy, one that eliminates or sharply reduces the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change.
This is the type of ingenuity we need to get us away from fossil fuels and pollution.
