In order to realise this vision, it must start with us - using solar power in our own homes then sharing the excess with our neighbouring communities.
To do this will not be an easy task.
Society is so used to relying on electric companies to generate all the electricity we need, for a fee we pay monthly.
We behave like this because this a century old conditioning that has been cemented within us since the first electric bulb was invented.
However, if we choose to continue this traditional mindset, we will never have the freedom to choose the type of electricity we want e.g. solar. They will decide it for us; and society will continue to do what it always does in situations like these. Blame & complain yet the status quo continues.
My mission is to:
(1) Raise awareness and promote decentralised electricity generation, peer-to-peer sharing/trading and distribution using renewable energy.
(2) Develop an open public blockchain that cut throughs intermediaries, instantly unites and rewards producers and consumers of renewable energy.
(3) Start by uniting pockets of residential communities to adopt peer-to-peer energy sharing; both the city as well as in rural communities.
I write in #homesteading because change starts with us - our individual homes. Homesteaders are great role models because they believe in building self sustaining homes. But i want homesteaders to know, that with their example, they are the best people who can lead in building self sustaining communities.
With the right models in place, I believe we can make explosive change - reduce global carbon emissions (my target is 90% from today) and bring our earth back to its right balance.

Very well stated, Buzz! I agree that homesteaders are models for using solar power. The two interests go hand-in-hand.
