The SF Energy Co-op has found a way to make the benefits of green energy available to anyone, through the power of collective investment and organization. As Wynns puts it, "Say it costs $20K to put solar on your roof, but you can't do that, for whatever reason. So you go to your neighbor and say, 'I'll pay to put it on your roof, and then you pay me what I would have been saving, and you'll still be saving money on your power bill.' And say instead you go to 100 friends and you all pay $200 to do the same thing. You can do the same good when people pool together small amounts of money."
