No More Power Lines

Our electrical grid is old, antiquated, and about to become junk. We have made it bigger and more complex and more interconnected in order to keep faults to a minimum, but in so doing, we have created a system where one person in Arizona can turn off the electricity for half of The USSA.

This electrical system has parts in it that were made before you were born. And if they were ever to burn out, they would have to build an entire manufacturing plant in order to start building a new one. Everything in the grid is 1950s technology. With a smattering of new technology to handle all the switches. Technology that the latest wikileaks has stated have been hacked. That someone has already created a back door whereby they could turn off anyone's power at will.

But don't believe that, because that is exactly what "smart" meters were designed to do (its not a back door, its the front door). There is nothing smart, in a "smart" meter. Nothing like managing current while they reconnect the mains, which needs a lot of resistance loads (like light bulbs), and few capacitive loads (like refrigerators) to smoothly bring the mains back on line. Nor does the smart meter do off-peak and night-billing. Nor a dozen other things that I, as an electrical engineer (one hat I wear) would have added to the thing first.

No, what the "smart meter" is designed to do is to disrupt human magnetic fields and to be able to turn your power off at any time the power company wants. Purely evil. (also it has been known to burn down houses.)

Many people have taken to getting off the grid.
To be in control of their own power. To stop being a slave to the power companies.

This is a noble endeavor, but is currently very expensive and requires quite a bit of expertise both in its installation and its usage. You can't just plug everything in and expect it to work like you would if your house was connected to the grid.

Now, if you expand the off grid system to about a dozen houses, you actually lower the price per house, while increasing fail-over systems and robustness. Further, you can use a more complicated energy making system, because out of a dozen families, you will probably have one mechanically inclined person to oversee maintenance and minor repairs.

And, if something catastrophic happens to the power system, you all just go over to your neighboring tiny community until the storm passes.

There will be no more, out of sight, out of mind pollution creating power plants. As the power plant will be in sight of your home. All of its emissions (or lack thereof) will be right in your face. Its smooth operation will be part of your life, instead of relying on invisible people, who may or may not be maintaining your life line.

Also, these tiny power plants will allow a group of like minded people, a new tribe, to go out and build their new homestead anywhere. They will not have to worry about building near existing power lines, or paying hundreds of thousands to have power run out to the middle of nowhere. (Paying them to spoil your lovely new vista with a row of phone poles.)

As this new, small community electric grids sweep across the globe, the antiquated grid system will just be left to rot.
Oh, it will be left functioning, for the longest time, just in case, but once the small community power plant start to show up, there will be no going back.

Sign me up to live right next to one of these micro grids. Run some wires free electricity. tesla. badda bing badda boom hahaha :)

Ima workin on it. It will happen. Its the future.
Thanks for reading my post.

Heck yeah buddy, your content is epic. Really can't find anything like it anywhere else. Thanks again

Except that they have and are continuing to make it illegal to be off the grid and are forcing people back onto the national grid.

I believe I read somewhere that they'll start handing out prison sentences for those that don't comply. (I'm busy at the moment, but I will try to find the article and link it if I can.)

I would very much like the mini-grids to take over. But the US Government is really cracking down on everything to make sure they control every aspect of our lives. (Have you seen the crap with declaring cryptocurrencies, and having to declare your cash or face prison? They're really locking us down, and as quickly as they possibly can.)

Yep, and soon it will be against the law to speak the truth.

My particular bent is to ignore the govern-cement.
My plan is to make these as ubiquitous as possible.
Where the govern-cement will have to move, violently, against thousands of people while millions watch with horror at what they do.

There are also natural forces on our side. This is the future.
But, getting there will not be a smooth ride.

Ehhh...I'm not sure that'll work out.

You know what happened with the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon, right? Not too many people watched in horror at that. It was suppressed and spun ingeniously, to the extent that it seems like two-thirds of the nation are blaming the victims (while not even knowing everything the BLM did) and feel like they deserved what they got.

I'm not so sure we'll get to a better future. The government sure seems to be hellbent on finding any excuse to imprison us or outright make us disappear. They're desperate to lock down control over us, and their growing desperation is making them more dangerous than ever before.

Yes, I am very aware of many BLM debacles.

But, with fear. Take a deep breath. Carry on.

That's cool stuff. I hope to need one of these soon.

Happy to be your newest follower :-)
I've been dreaming of this stuff for years now.
Anything that can be though of, can and will be done Despite the Ficking Patent Office

But Right Now...Sunday is Funday in Panama

I'll Blog about it L8er...

Thank you for visiting my post. I hope to see many of yours.
And yes, it will be done. My propositions are the best 1950s technology.

Assuming your micro grid will have some solar power claim your free Solarcoin from www.solarcoin.org. Sister project electricchain.org has built raspberry pi based solar data logger to put pv generation into the block chain, a smart meter without a smart meter if you like.

My plans have no PV generation.
PV is the most expensive, with the least return.
If I was to do so in South West american desert, then I may think of using PV if I am in a hurry.

I will check out the websites.

Interesting, have to wait and see how you will power these micro grids then :)
