Investing in a greener household

I have a two-year-old. I want more than anything for the world that she raises a two-year-old in, to be as nice as the world that I was two in. I know that individual-level decisions are small chips in the fight against climate change.  But this is what I can do directly.

Electric car for 99% of trips 

We currently drive a reasonably new reasonably efficient internal combustion car. We don't drive a lot, but we do drive daily to and from the bus/daycare.  The biggest impact we can have is relegating that car to days when we really need the extra range or extra capacity that we get with this car. 

Replace old gas furnace with an electric heat pump

Our house has a 20-year-old 90% efficient furnace.  If you lose 1% a year, then that furnace is running at 70% efficiency and burning natural gas.  Moving to a heat pump would move us from fossil fuels to the very clean hydro-generated electricity in the northwest.

Solar panels on the house

I live in an area with very green power, mostly hydro.  But we still buy some level of nuclear, coal and natural gas.  If we can make our own solar, we can reduce the load on some of those fuel sources.  We've got great south facing exposure on the roof.  Putting solar panels on the roof helps make the entire energy mix more renewable. 

Also, a plus, having solar panels probably makes my net electricity bill zero, which is fun.  In an ideal world, I could run disconnected from the grid if/when the Cascadia megaquake happens; presuming the house is still standing.

Tankless electric water heater, electric stove

I have a newer natural gas water heater, so this is low on the list of things to replace.  It's efficient and new but is one of the remaining sources of fossil fuels in the house.

My gas stovetop is going to be hardest personally for me, I love cooking on gas, it is a nice experience for cooking, heat is instantly there and instantly gone. But maybe if when we renovate the kitchen we switch to induction.
