Home energy, like most things we consume (food, cars, wood products, etc), involves both up-front and long-term costs. Some long-term costs we eventually pay directly, such as the gas for an SUV versus a hybrid. However, the majority of these costs are “externalized,” that is, neither the consumer nor the producer ever pays directly. Rather, society and the environment pay down the road with increased pollution, illness, habitat loss, and global warming.
