Living “off the grid” may conjure images of counter-culture hippies or the old-fashioned ways of the Amish, but there’s a growing movement of people who generate their own electricity and live in the lap of luxury without ever paying a utility bill.
Correspondent Patty Kim meets some of the estimated 180,000 families across North America using clean energy technology to become self-sufficient and enjoy all the comforts of modern life, off the grid.
Looks like a very nice way to live. Not having an electric bill of any kind would be the way to go. I have been planning on getting my own land away from civilization and just going solar so this article is well timed. Thanks for the info.
I'm not so sure to what extent I'd really be off the grid but I'm hoping to buy land in more rural area to eventually build on with as much means of being as self sufficient as possible.
