“You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. “

Yes, just about anyone can can take the path to freedom, self-reliance and self-sufficiency. It doesn’t matter if one lives in an urban, suburban or in a rural area. Everyone can help themselves in some way.

This site serves as passing interest to some, instructions in survival to others, and post (GRD) great republican depression, it will be the lifeblood of many! As the winds of change fuel the flames of debt, and psychotic consumerism is killed by credit card defaults, bank closings, and devalued dollars, we the people will move on to ‘Walden’s Pond’ thinking, and away from the pressures of advertising and Hollywood myths. Self-sufficiency and frugality will mate with educated capability and high technology and produce a society more resilient and less susceptible to Thieving New York Bankers and real estate crooks. We will live in “Zero running cost, Zero upkeep” High-tech homes in place of McMansions, We will drive High-tech Diesel/Electric plug-in vehicles with carbon fiber bodies in place of ‘1930’s sheetmetal and hydraulics grease-pit designed’ cars, The South Western U.S.A. will become our PERPETUAL Solar energy source, and as witnessed by the following reference:
There is as much wind power potential (900,000 megawatts) off our coasts as the current capacity of all power plants in the United States combined, according to a new report entitled, A Framework for Offshore Wind Energy Development in the United States, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, and General Electric. http://www.capecodtoday.com/news246.htm01/01/09
There will be no excuse to pay for offshore oil in military service in the middle east! We can be more than self-sufficient with wind power alone! We have the technical ability to store – magic word and key word when considering wind power “STORE” power in our own Texas-based EEStor’s near-mythical Electrical Energy Storage Unit – it really exists, not vapor-ware like the GM Volt! This technology is up for patents as we speak! Change is coming at us fast, it is driven by the GRD. We will go through a paradigm shift as no other nation has. We will come out on top! Changed, but on top! Resistors to the massive changes at hand will find themselves an uncomfortable minority in a world of enlightened people. This site is the tip of the enlightenment to come!
