The Grid Sucks
by Vonia Martin
Why are we so hooked on the grid? It's this concept that prevents us from truly being sustainable.
All you need is a bunch of batteries and solar panels oh and the sun. Some how some one needs to figure out how to implement an alternator into the equation I think it could work. Just like in a car, the alternator could help charge the batteries when the meter is moving. Meter or something to tell the alternator to start charging, keeping the batteries always full so you have power into the night.
Granted, batteries aren't the greatest for the environment either but lets face it life isn't good for the environment. You don't need the grid for this but you don't get an oven or drier unless they run on propane, which they do have.
