Kilowatt Ours is creating a network of homeowners and renters in America dedicated to striving for Net-Zero energy usage in their homes and apartments. Kilowatt Ours is the story of filmmaker and conservationist Jeff Barrie's 18-month journey across the southeastern U.S. to document energy-related problems and present practical, cost-saving solutions for consumers. Widespread problems revealed in Kilowatt Ours include mountaintop removal, air pollution, global warming, childhood asthma, and mercury contamination.Austin offers a catchy and doable vision that can be achieved on any scale, in any community that makes this a priority, beginning today. An individual homeowner or flat dweller can build a tiny conservation power plant at home by changing light bulbs and cutting usage by several kilowatt hours per month. A business, school, or institution can do the same on a larger scale by investing in a performance contract. An entire city can go even further and commit to a program on the scale of Austin.
Do we have a similar network in South East Queensland, Queensland or other states in Australia? Do we have the will to make the change?
