“Most clean-energy experts don’t see off-grid living as the solution to the nation’s energy crisis. “

Experts don’t like it when ya can’t meter it. LOL

I’m going off the grid.

I just installed a 47KW diesel generator.

Woohoo......

I like the idea of living off the grid, but not for ‘environmental’ reasons. I also like growing some of my own food and doing my own house repairs and doing a few other things that are transactions not taxed.

No fooling.

If enough people were to do this, the gov’t would find a way to tax it. Look at your utility bills closely; it’s a great place to hide taxes.

Years ago when I was in home construction, a couple was building a new home. They dug a water well about 50' from their house before the house was completed. The drill stem fell about 75' when it hit a cavern.

The temp of the air inside the shaft stayed between 68 and 72 year round. They piped that air into their house and the utility company wanted to know why their bills were less than $10 per month.
