If you live in the UK the Department of Energy and Climate change has alot of information about the different ways you can cut you fossil fuel consumption, save money, and reduced your CO2 emissions.You can install PV panels which generate electricity,and solar panels for hot water.
Whilst grants for PV panels have now ended,you can sell any excess electricity back to the grid at a rate fixed by the Government.£400 is available for solar thermal hot water systems.
To get the grant the product you have installed must be approved as well as the installer.Again go to the Low Carbon Buildings website for more information.
In the future I expect power companies will offer to install energy saving devices and you pay it back over time.
Right now installation costs are high particularly for PV panels which will put off most people,but as the cost of fossil fuels rises,the take up will increase.
