[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 2900916, member: 34578"] This is true. And I apologize for not being clear. Most of those sources all still have a single distribution hub, the National power grid. How many of those sources are readily available to small scale production, are portable, and can be readily implemented by anyone that wants independence from the utility grid, a long term backup power source, or lives in an area where a power grid is not in place? I'm saying we need to encourage advancement in the areas of mobile and personal power generation so the we are not relying solely on a national power grid as a single source anymore. FYI, not I'm not an off-the-grid nut, I just think that a distributed or even individual power system in coexistence with the national power grid offers better catastrophe proofing and flexibility. And at this time the only technologies that show promise to do this are Wind power, Solar, and possibly Hydro power. [/QUOTE]
