If we have the right to tap into our own water with tanks and bore holes and the right to our private internet connection with satellite-like you mentioned, I don't see why electricity generation should be any different, if im off grid los my uit. I'm doing you a favour by not putting additional demand on your crappy service that you pay millions to run ads to tell us to use less off, its madness
I don't have the answer for where honestly, I do think that if let's say the northern cape taps into orange river hydro and their massive uranium deposits and cost line because they small in the population become energy independent it gives them too much autonomy from the power centers. More of the country's money would flow there because they give us cheap energy and start to distribute political power too.
Whenever I see things that don't make sense to me its usually a money or power angle. it really is a shame though as all that energy would give us so much value and increase everyone's standard of living.
I don't think individual energy independence is workable, maybe in certain towns, but hey we gotta do what we can, no ones coming to save us thats for sure
Well said, exceptionally lucky if you hit borehole water that is the jackpot, everything else you would be able to source, it is finding a place outside of towns/cities where you would be able to "feel safe"!?
If government stood back for a minute without greedy palms being greased, people may take the initiative to build something amazing in this land.
