RE: Living in Luxury Off the Grid - For We Who Hunger for Power! (part 1)
That's cool you are self sufficient in this way! Do you mostly get enough from the solar/wind?

Hi meesterboom! Good to see you!
We sit in this nifty little pocket in mountains and while there is a sweet wind tunnel that follows the river channel we only get wind when there is a storm which has, of course, knocked over enough trees (firewood) for us to use for all of this winter and some of next. The bulk of our power comes from our hydrogenerator plant. The stream gets a little dry in the couple months in the middle of summer and we have to turn it down but we get 2 excellent months of solar then.
Our backup generator really is only backup. The others put out enough power that we could become mad scientists and resurrect an army of Frankensteins.
