i live off grid, since 1997 i have used only energy from mother nature.  i use a hybrid wind and solar system.  i designed and installed the whole thing.  it powers the home and a home business as well.   i also catch 100 percent of my water supply from rainfall.  if you are interested, you can take a look at my site. greenmountainsolar dot com.   i welcome interesting questions and new ideas.. spread the word.  if i can do it, so can you!
