There are a number of ways to discourage your neighbors from using green energy sources. The simplest is to talk badly about their choices; emphasize the costs or potential drawbacks of their energy sources. This could lead them to doubt the efficacy or desirability of going green and, thus, possibly dissuade them from investing in green alternatives. Additionally, you could provide counter-arguments that advocate for traditional (and often less costly) forms of energy production—this may sway their decision-making process away from more sustainable solutions.

Encourage them to be aware of other green practices they can do as an alternative, like recycling and reducing wastage of water. Support their move to switch over to renewable energy sources like wind or solar power, and help them understand the advantages of such initiatives. Moreover, share success stories and tips online that demonstrate practical ways in which people can reduce their carbon footprint in small ways without breaking the bank.
