Re:It's all been predicted already
>You won't see a solar rechargeable Cell phone/MP3/Flashlight/am~fm radio/garage door openner/Car key for at least 40 years. Why? because it would kill the disposable battery business.
Here are a couple of places that sell portable solar chargers for Cell phones/mp3players etc: iSun and Creative Energy Technologies -
Re:Alternative Energy is already here.
I don't see why a fridge would be such a problem when they've got plenty of propane. You can get an 18 cu. ft. fridge that consumes 1.5 lbs of propane per day. Even a small one would be a big improvement over nothing, and wouldn't cost much to run.

High-tech, uncommon, a smart decision =12-volt DC!
12-volt DC ONLY!
You might know that DC is "more efficient" on short range power transmission than AC...
You might also have heard that people having solar panel mostly use low-energy appliances, which happen to run @ 12V DC...
here is what I find when googling "12V DC energy savings"

Solar Charger
While this greatly depends on your needs, and how much you are willing to spend, you could consider the idea of a solar charger for your laptop. here is one, and there are others are available as well. These results come from a quick google, and probably aren't the best options available, but I do recall seeing a small fold out one which would extend the battery life by about 30%.

Re:My experience with White LED'sThey're cheap in terms of production and electricity cost.
Then why the hell are they so expensive? Check out the prices on available white LED replacements for incandescent bulbs, here for example although there are other vendors. The light equivalent of a 40W bulb will run you almost $200! I'm not even certain that's worth it even if it does last 100,000 hours.
