Trish and all,
Okay, here is my $.02 on the subject.
1. Start small, a couple of solar panels, charge controler, and batteries. Wind is more complicated and is more to maintain. Save wind generation till you get your feet wet with solar.
2. The most efficient way to get away from the grid is to use less electricity (conservation), so you will need to generate less.
3. My Mercedes diesels are a big part of my plan. Notice that I am keeping this thread on topic!! I can make fuel for them. I am a school bus contractor and we run all diesels so I end up supplementing the fuel with bio fuel. I just love my MB's.
4. It is possible to grow oil crops, press them. to extract the oil, and use that oil to run the Benz.
Small steps.
Cheers,
Bill
