The American Electricity industry has a turnover of $400 billion a year.
These videos are of people who are NOT customers.
They are videos of Off-Grid life - mainly from America, but also UK and around the world. Mainly vignettes of people I have met on my travels, but you can also upload your own videos to this channel - just go to http://www.off-grid.net/videos

Living Off-Grid means living without utility power or water and the people live in Vans, cars, boats, yurts, benders, shacks, cabins, tree-houses, Earthships, and in normal houses.

Their lives are recorded in a new book - OFF THE GRID - Inside the Movement for More Space, Less Government and True Independence in Modern America - http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...

They all have in common a necessary awareness of the weather conditions - would they have enough sun on their solar panels, wind in their turbines, or rainwater running into their storage tanks?

But they also seem more free than the rest of us, less stuck inside the system.

We invite videos and comments from all over the world - from industrialized countries where people are learning they can live more freely off the grid, and also from developing countries where it is just the normal way of life.

I wrote OFF THE GRID: Inside the Movement for More Space, Less Government, and True Independence in Modern America -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...

I like to live in vans, or Yurts, or benders, or Earthships, or tree houses or canal boats, which are not connected to the grid.

I have a pioneering spirit, and The Grid seems like such an out of date idea - Totally 20th Century.

Now GE wants America to buy into the Smart Grid - probably a $1.5 trillion investment over the next ten years.

There must be a better way.
