Sounds like my place. This year is being spent in becoming self sufficient on food, tobacco, and beer. Welcome to the 1800s, with high-speed data links. I get my internet from the co-op network I help maintain. The only bill I pay is insurance and cell phone, and I only pay it when I want to talk to someone. ;)

I would like to pick your brain. I am writing a How-To book with a supporting website on designing, building, and living off grid, but from a purely practical (conservative) point of view. I think that with the upcoming cap and trade legislation and the “Smart Grid”, off grid living will start to be a bit more popular.

I have found it difficult to find people that have done it on practical principal versus carbon foot print thinking.
