We’re a suburban family of 4 from Michigan. We’re interested in moving to Alaska to live using primarily passive and active solar power and wind, water, etc… Living completely off the grid isn’t a necessity for us, but isn’t out of the question, either. We homeschool (not primarily for religious reasons), we’re concerned about our impact on the planet (we have been since before Gore’s Inconvenient Truth) , and we’re interested in being a part of a community (we’re not interested in being completely isolated). I would like to contact a family who is living similarly to the way we would like to live.

if I have a small water powered generator and its not enough to supply my house during the somedays but more than enough others, how can I connect to the power grid so my meter would turn backwards when power is going out and fowards when Im using more power than I’m making.

where can i purchase the equipment to install solar power on my house. The type that feeds back into the grid. i am an electritian and prefer to do the work myself

I live in Tucson,AZ. Where it’s sunny 300 days of the year if not more. I would like to build my own home, completely off the grid.

I wonder why we can’t have smaller scale generation facilities, getting rid of the grid maintenance problems and generate power locally and distribute locally. Utilize solar, hydro, co-gen, and wind where they are available. Making people more efficient on a small scale could solve some of our large scale problems!
