I have two wells at Dixieland and the water from them is sparking clear and more tasteful than the crap from the city water in Cape Carteret.Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-15312555135753163682017-04-23T08:59:36.461-04:002017-04-23T08:59:36.461-04:00The only negative is the expected income is lower....The only negative is the expected income is lower. There are a lot of costs to modern life.<br /><br />Just to mention: Tesla is developing/has developed solar roof tiles that look like a normal roof: https://www.tesla.com/solarroof<br /><br />And Tesla sells batteries for one's house. So you could actually live entirely off the grid now, albeit at a cost.<br /><br />Costs should decline for such things over time, but I'd love to have a roof like that, provided it's truly durable.<br /><br />Tesla markets itself as saving the planet, but it should market itself as offering independence. And an investment in solar offers a fairly certain return, even if a low return.<br /><br />Anyway, I love that idea of complete independence, assuming a person had a septic tank, filtered well water, and a plug-in hybrid car that's cheaper than a Tesla... Lots of dollar signs. Anyway, independence is a nice ideal.Weavernoreply@blogger.com
