As we look toward the future, the ever looming signs of the failure of the electrical grid are becoming more and more irrelevant. The failure of the grid will cause widespread outages and will leave you in the dark without you have a plan. Remember the Northeast blackout of 2003?
A plan to circumvent the dark is priceless. Imagine for a moment what you could do with the barest of equipment. A household with a Deep Cycle battery, Inverter and a power strip has the makings of their own Power Plant. These items will allow you to have the light you will most respectfully seek when the lights go out and you do not know where your flashlights are. You do have a flashlight do not you? These 3 items are the beginnings of your own electrical grid.
Imagine the feeling you will have when you connect your inverter to your Deep Cycle battery and plug in your lamp and you produce light. You now have this convenience without the noise and smell of an external generator. You have now become your own electric company. The satisfaction of making your own electricity is akin to making fire for the first time.
Now that you have a small alternate power system you need a way to recharge your battery. Now add to your system a battery charger in the form of a small "Amorphous" solar panel and you have a renewable source of energy that is FREE! A 15 watt "Amorphous" solar panel will last for years without any upkeep other than brushing them off every now and then.
The process of making your own electricity is easy and you do not have to be a "techie" or a "geek" to understand it. A few simple pieces of equipment and you have the tools to make renewable energy. Now that IS a great feeling! You are helping the environment by offsetting your carbon footprint by a small amount and doing your share to bring forth light when you are in the Dark.
