We started a backyard garden and buy from local farmers and I can a lot of meat and veggies. We work from home, so we Don't Drive a lot. The only thing I haven't done is find an alternative for heating here in Oklahoma. Hopefully, there will be some woodstoves left to buy next year.
Nice to hear from you. I hope all is well. It is nice to be self sufficient. Are you into solar energy or wind?
Solar and wind are not reliable and lithium batteries are one of the most toxic mining sites. I've done extensive research on this issue, including industry c02 output from the manufacturing of clean energy components. I was thinking about building a basement to stay cool or digging deep holes in the ground, pumping the air for cooling and heating. I think it's called geothermal heating and cooling.
