When you commit to a secure alternative energy source to protect you and your family, you send an unspoken message that asserts your belief in self-reliance, and freedom from energy companies rate hikes & mishaps.
Today’s modern culture has developed an infrastructure that brings us incredible convenience, it has also created a complex and intertwined chain of dependency for all energy consumers on the North American power grid.
Over the last half-decade, a new awareness has slowly dawned as society has had time to reflect on
its growing vulnerability. Ageing refineries, power plants, sub- stations, combined with high voltage transmission lines and their accompanying out-of-date computer control systems leave families and businesses susceptible to periodic blackouts, at their current conditions.
Now the magnitude of risk associated with short-term storm outages, or even catastrophic disruption of the power grid, along with susceptibility to unreasonable and often substantial rate hikes, all combine to make energy independence even more beneficial.
As a life-long resident of the North East of USA, I know first hand how scary the world can get when electricity suddenly disappears. During the “black out of 03″, August 14, 2003 to be exact, a series of power surges over a 12-second period triggered a cascade of shut downs at more than 100 generating plants throughout eight U.S. states and Ontario. The result was the biggest blackout in North American history. 61,800 megawatts of power were lost to over 50 million people. All of New York City was brought to a screeching halt, millions of people walked out of Manhattan to whatever nearest persons house they could find within a few miles walk. Cell phones were down. Ferry’s to New Jersey were over loaded with tens of thousands of people at the same time.
The maybe not so obvious, but the fact is that currently our energy flows from our local power plants and provide electricity to our homes and business non stop. It can not be stored like water, food, or medicin, in case of an emergency. It has to be produced to meet our needs continuously. Not true for those of us that have a nice solar water heating and electric set up.
