Juice Energy, Green Mountain, Sterling Planet, energy costs are actually reduced so you pay less. The term has been used often but not always, the situations in developing countries or underdeveloped rural areas of industrialized countries.
It could be argued that for a technologically advanced society, a technology more expensive and complex, requiring specialized maintenance and high energy inputs, could be an “appropriate technology”. In any case, this is not the usual sense.
