I just can't stand it when people offer advice that is in itself grid-dependant (like email and mobiles). Don’t get me wrong, on the whole, I’m anti-grid.

The subversive person in me wants to not be dictacted to by the system and live off the gird, especially when I look at debt, environment, health and political issues that drive me insane with frustration. But like you said the only true way to do it would be to not do everything I've trained to do, to not be a modern kinda-fella....who loves design. That said, I really do want to get of the power grid at my next house and get some solar and wind power....even if I do need to go to bed when the sun goes down.
