If the circumstances were much worse, can you survive a power grid failure?
The potential of a power grid failure isnt reserved for the plot of a science fiction movie.
Drawbacks, however, include the relatively high start-up cost.
Some of the worlds largest electricity-producing power plants are hydroelectric.
The same principles can be applied on a smaller scale.
You need water with significant movement.
A microhydro system can cost as little as $1,000 while providing 75 to 350 kWh per month.
It turns out that wind power is abit impracticalfor most homesteads.
Its recently picked up more steam excuse the pun and more folks are trying it out.
Dont feel pressured to get it all done immediately.
Buy pieces at a time, and start small.
you could always add on or upgrade later as funds or time improves.
