How can I make my house completely energy independent?

I live in the northeast (Western New York), in a well-developed suburban village. My gas and electric bills exceed $550.00 monthly, and I’m sick of it. It’s a big house, but it’s well insulated, and has 30 brand new double-pane argon-filled replacement windows. The house is about 3,500 square feet, and has a baseboard hot water heating system.

Strictly because of my absurd and ever-increasing utility bills, I want to create an energy independent home, if it’s possible. Wind, solar, hiring trolls to peddle bikes in the backyard… whatever the answer, I’d love to hear from knowledgeable people as to whether this is possible, and if so, how it can be achieved.

Thank you in advance.
