I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I guess it's finally time to get back to the solar panel pages.
I'm getting ready to build a home, and have looked at tons of stuff because of the heating prices, and it's hard to make a decision. I want to learn how to live off the grid, but it sure isn't easy.
Trying to decide is almost impossible here in MD, it gets so cold, and you really need a backup system too. I have a generator, and lots of storage for gasoline for it, but we are right back to gas prices again, however, having the use of Solar for a while, is still better than using oil all the time.
The big issue here is.....
when will we, the people of MD, get together and tell them we will not pay that amount.
We won't, and that's the problem.
Get together, make arrangements for shelter, plan ahead, and STOP BUYING. It's the only thing they understand, DON'T BUY!
Will we do it? No, no one will do anything anymore. I would, but without the numbers, it won't even be noticed.
We actually CAN still change things, but it takes the masses for some issues, and this is one of them.
The internet is one place that makes that possible. Many can join together and decide what they want, then let your officials know about it, and take a stand.
We are getting eaten alive by the cost of just living, and what will we do? Nothing, not until everyone is going bankrupt, because of the cost of heating our homes, eating, and paying taxes.
Does the word Revolution sound about right?
Today you will need to get up off your b*tt and do something, nothing else will do it.
We have known for a long time that it's taking a toll on all of us, and we still just sit and talk.
It's our choice what happens, we either learn how to change it, and do it, or we freeze, it's that simple, and if not, soon it will be.
Are you sure your cash will cover the cost this year? Next year?
I'm as frustrated as you are, I think we all are.
When do we stop paying what a foreign country tells us what we will pay?
When will we tap our own resources?
When will we take the time to find out how your county works, and what steps it takes to change things?
Just my thoughts.
