Also, a heater, for you – so that you won’t be frozen out in the winter if the grid goes down.
It can be used in conjunction with solar-electric and grid-back-up power to run a generator and/or a stove and or a tankless water heater. Instead, you have a propane tank – small or big – and the propane within it is not connected to anything besides what you’ve connected it to, such as your home. There is no propane gas line connecting your home to the distribution network, as is the case with natural gas. Propane is is similar to natural gas but different in that it is not on-grid. Many home back-up generators run on propane or can be easily converted to run on it. There is solar power and there is propane power. In principle, one could power a well pump all the time, without grid power. Most people who have wells also have back-up generators that power the well pump when grid power goes down. But even so, it’s not necessary to connect to the electric grid to obtain it. You will, however, require power to get that water out of the well. They control their water supply, which is also a supply of water that will be free of the things included for “free” in the recycled toilet water that’s piped into millions of other people’s homes e.g., chlorine and fluoride.Ī well isn’t cheap to dig but once it’s done you own your water supply – and you’ll never get another water bill, either. These millions of people have wells on their property. It is extremely difficult to maintain hygiene without it, too.
You cannot survive for more than a few days without water. You can survive weeks without much or even any food. Millions of people (this writer included) are already off-grid as regards their water supply – a thing at least and arguably even more critical than food supply.
