It seems these days, that people get pretty worked up over whatever shiny new energy device has recently hit the market. There's a seemingly unending string of these fancy new devices. Each one becoming viral here on the Internet, and on Social Media Sites.

Solar f#$%ing roads, a new fancy battery some company comes out with, or some new fancy wind generator that some guy came up with. Folks seem to be fascinated with this stuff!!!

EVERYBODY wants that shiny new battery that a company is making (With taxpayer subsidies)

As people are distracted by these "Technological Innovations", they forget the un-glamorous solutions that actually work the best!!

As with most things, it's not the newest greatest, idea to end all ideas that solves the problem.... It's the tried and true, "Slogging in the trenches" stuff that gets the best bang for the buck.

Here's a video I put together some time ago, about this subject.... Man I look scary in the early mornings! I hope though, that this will give you some ideas to ACTUALLY save some energy on YOUR homestead, become more self reliant at the cheapest price, and maybe (Just maybe) become more prepared for future disruptions.
