Pfft. People: have 2 or fewer kids, turn the heat down, and shut the damn lights off when you leave the room. Simple!
The cheapest thing is to offer rebates for more efficient stuff and play commercials telling people to reduce power consumption. At ~2-3c/kWh w/ the high end being ~8c/kWh, it's pretty damn cheap, esepcially considering that it's replacing power from peaker plants.
