What I was thinking for myself, when and if I ever do buy a house, was some solar panels on the roof or in the yard (depending on whether they would be safe from vandals) and a geo-thermal furnace. I'm origionally from Ontario and the price of hydro has gone crazy lately not to mention the recent power outages. It would be nice to have the basics covered (heat, frig, hot water, and basic lighting).
All the sites on the web I've looked at don't show any prices. Most likely they don't want to scare you! You would think that with rising costs of utilities more and more people would start using alternate sources and then prices would go down on solar panels and what not but I'm beginning to think it's just as expensive now as it was ten years ago.
