Get off the grid!

Get off the grid!

Yes, that’s right. I said it. Get of f the grid. That may be easy for an urbanite to say, but it’s just as easy said as done.

Yeah, I get it. You hate the system, you hate society, but there you sit, fat and oily in front of your state-of-the-art flat screen. Blissfully ignorant of the prehensile inky-black wire, snaking it’s filthy way into the pulsating nether hole of the local Con-Ed whore.

And you call yourself free?

Gain some much-needed self respect and pry those ashy lips off that electric teat.

Build yourself a solar power generator.

What I mean by that is simple. You can easily build a system that will allow you to generate electricity to power all of those anchors you wear around your neck, like your cancer inducing cell phone, that stylish ipod, and perhaps that very becoming computer your are chained to.

Intrigued? It’s simple. Type in build a solar power gererator in the search engine of your choice, Spend a couple hundred dollars seed capital, invest in a solar panel and a few electronic odds and ends, and become pseudo-self-sufficient.

Worst case scenario, you spend a few bucks on some cool looking gizmos that will impress the locals. People like a new-fangled contraption.

Best case scenario: when they decide to turn out the lights, you can power that 13”
television and watch the revolution, and with the right attachments, you can even pop some corn.
