I have no issues with people doing so by personal choice, but have issue
with not getting to choose, especially when it comes to things that are of
great expense.

I have an electric push mower, but wouldn't want to be part of a group
forcing others to do the same.  I have made a stab at using gray water for
things that don't need fresh water, but there is some difficulty there and
I also would not want to force others to pursue that.  There is some group
locally trying to lure people into installing solar panels.  I checked into
it and there was a catch that disqualified me from their "deal," but I would
not want to discourage others from checking, and also would not want to force
others to do it.
