Man I just want 100 acres. I don’t even need a mailbox, just 100 acres.

@duddevil, “they don’t know how to take care of anything,” Are you saying that because their animals are dying or because they have an income that allows for luxuries you can’t afford? Money isn’t the issue here. Living green doesn’t mean going homeless or living in a shoe box on the street. No one “just HAPPENS to have a lot of cash”, you have to EARN money. Whats important here’s they spent EARNED income on efficient power systems, if ‘yuppies’ can be comfortable off the grid you can too.

@superpunchy71 just like it’s done in Space. NASA does the same thing.

Unfortunately due to government subsidies and major corporations buying patents to block the further development of renewable energy the market forces have not had a chance to work to bring down the prices on alot of solar, geo-thermal, and wind power. It’s still much cheaper in the long run from my research to be off the grid, just takes a little more start up money. If you build your own home and you can save over 100,000 dollars easy.

I think the fact that they haven’t “altered their way of life in any way shape or form” is the very point that they are making. The ability to stop wasting natural resources and continue to enjoy the amenities of on-the-grid living is a reality. I don’t think it matters whether you have the ability to purchase it outright or put it together as you go. What matters is that people like this, cash-purchase or do-it-yourself, are having a positive impact on the planet on which we live.

Very nice place, this is more realistic than some of the hippie compounds in mud huts.

Not true, you just have to be hidden well.
