That's horrible, truly horrible-- a company shouldn't be able to refuse service to someone just because they try to be self-reliant!! That's like the supermarket refusing to sell you food because you grow some of your own on your property!! First, it's none of their damn business, and second, it's bad for the country, encourages too much reliance on things out of our own control!!Yep thatt is the way of it with rural co op's . Same for the power company we are hooked up with. You could take them to court but,? I have a friend in central Texas and he built a wind generator and the power company came out and dissconnected him from thier grid. For a really good look go to otherpower.com It will be two years down the road before we can produce our own energy here. May the Lord shine on ya.

I suggested not long ago in another thread that folks should consider giving the gift of solar power for these coming holidays!! Would that I could afford it as well!!truly, but if I declined to sign the agreement I'd be itting in the cold dark withou food or abty to cook - I'd reallt like to get off the grid, always have wanted to, but have not yet had the money or ability to do so....
and tonight, thanks to having moved to where the light pollution is nearly nil, we are going to be able to see the Leonid metor shower like never before!!

We live in Texas and from what I have heard our co=op electric buys back the excess energy. The problem is being able to afford the wind turbine.Just a thought about the alternative energy...
I heard recently by word of mouth that some energy companies are required by state law to purchase back excess energy from energy producing homes. I've always been sort of a geek so I'm thinking about looking into this. I think it would be great to own your own energy farm.
I requested a homesteading forum and they referred me to the gardening forum. I told them it was not quite the same thing. They don't think there is enough interest in that sort of thing. It is in the suggest new forum section: http://christianforums.com/showthread.php?t=7219271I have been lookin for yall. I am a homesteader.
No we do not live off the grid but we try to raise a garden to offset the amount of food we buy. Black Butt Dave the hog is going to Disney world tommorrow. He weighs 227 lbs live weight. Youngest boy showed and actioned his chickens at the fair this last saturday. We sell firewood and I am excited to find like minded people. We make soap and do not use no artifical anything in it. We eat alot of what we can grow and give the ecsess to feed the homeless. I would like to see a homesteader page on this forum. Think they will? If yall have any questions on alternative energy, welding, livestock, herbs Give me a shout
