We are on our third week of living without electricity because we want to keep the analog meter. If anyone is available to educate East Texas contact me.

Hey Nancy! Wildlife under crossings sound great to us! Hwy 17 is a blood alley for wildlife and a barrier to migration, esp. for mountain lions who are inbreeding because they can’t cross road barriers like hwy 17. Seriously! Inbreeding causes problems in the lions who then attack small children (albeit recklessly left alone by their parents, are then hunted down and killed.) Not good for lions- not good for humans. So yes support undercrossings- wildlife needs a safe crossing just like people. Not intimately familiar with that particular land trust.

Great reading how you are doing. Bravo for you! Thanks for all of the terrific information!!! I will be calling PG&E in the morning to request them to stop charging me the opt out fee. I also am very up set at the cost of my electric bill lately! Its almost tripled! Makes me sick.
Hey, I wanted to ask, do you know anything about the “The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County?” They are looking to build a wildlife tunnel at hwy 17 and Laruel Rd. SV. I’m so freaked out! I hear they but land, will then come in and “manage it” cutting down trees and…o yeah, “managing it.” I was hoping you could shed some light on this group. The latest article I found was in the Press Banner Sept. 12, 2014, ” Land Trust seeks funds for proposed Laurel Curve wildlife underpass.” I couldn’t find the link. They do mention their web site http://www.landtrustsantacruz.org
I appreciate any info I can get.
Thank you for your time. Hope to see you soon.
Blessings,
Nancy

Kudos, high fives and a salute to the Hart household for perseverance, and action motivated by integrity. I too have ‘opted out’ from PG & E’s plan to co-opt my and other ratepayers health. There’s a lot of folks’ minds that are convinced that a corporatacracy is smarter than a minority with an opposing viewpoint.
Three simple words, ‘I can learn’, display an open mind willing to listen, or so I like to believe… Thankyou for a fine lesson in independent off-the-grid values. Best of success in your future!! Cheers, Paul

I hope you continue your journey and please update us on facebook,

In the meantime ive also been planning my way of living if I had no electric. I lived in a area in my life without somethings and it was good. We had an outhouse , a hose that came out of the floor a wood heating stove and a old fashion washtub . I used propane grill too and the old fashion charcoal, the wood stove I would put our pots of water on so we can bath in the washtub, I also had a kerosene heater for heat . I did a lot of cooking on the wood stove , what a treat this was , I had very little electric use if any at all . I just kept telling myself I living in a small 4 room tent , Our house ,honestly it was peaceful and wonderful and we survive great . if we all put our minds to it we can do it , live off the grid . I agree with u josh hold out and don’t give in. im with you on this one .
