I always find it amazing that people say things like 'I an so totally off grid' and you look at what they have done and how much fossil fuel was used to build it and transport it to their homes, and how much food they buy still uses natural gas for fertilizer and how their homes feature things made of steel, plastics and cement or brick...and an internet connection...

The whole renewable fantasy is like a 2 year old saying 'look mummy, I can jump over a toy rabbit, and then again at 5 years old 'look I can jump over a chair - by the time I am 50 I will be able to jump over tall buildings with a single bound!'

Greens would be rather sweet if they hadn't been given a vote.

Let me add another off the grid fallacy... technology. Imagine how many factories, components, supply chains you need for a modern electric grid. When it breaks, you'll be very happy to have some good old oil, nuclear and what ever else you have to power that enormous dependency you have due to "smart grids" and renewable power.
