How do you figure that? What is your line of thought? How are they giving it to the ordinary citizen if I might ask? I am curious to know which big corporations are taking away control to give to the ordinary citizen. How is this done?
I think you are confused.
Green energy can be made at home by ordinary citizens.
This is what the energy companies are most afraid of.
No I am not confused I asked a question. First let us take a look at the reality of right now today. Can the average citizen make their own energy when many cannot afford to even make a house payments?
How much did that 7,000 sq ft house in your OP cost to fit with reen technology?
Don't think for a moment I do not support people being free of mega conglomerates that reward the rich and strip the poor.
No, you just support all the policies that would keep the current conditions as they are.
If I had my preferences I would not give them one penny to keep the electric line coming to the house here.
Then why do you fight every option that would make that a reality?
Facts are though we do not have the means to be fully independent of the electric monster without burning lots of gas for the generator.
Depends totally on where you are.
My mining operation was setup to run on hydraulics not electricity.
Mining what?
The cost savings were into hundreds of thousands of dollars to the operation from the very beginning. It was the the first fully hydraulic mine operation in the US that I know of from the feasibility study before starting the processing portion of the mine.
Are you doing this?

Abstract The mining-and-geological conditions are analyzed for the occurrence conditions of gold placers, where the hydraulic borehole mining is expedient. The empirical dependences are established for calculating the basic parameters of hydraulic mining through the boreholes drilled in carrying out the experimental-industrial tests. The prototypes of hydraulic mining equipment are designed and tested. The trends are determined for the increase in efficiency of hydraulic borehole mining from thawed and frozen placers of different thickness.
OK, you have me hooked. Hydraulic mining of what, in what manner?
Hydraulics as in machinery? Hydraulics as in Giants?
I am a millwright by trade and have dealt with the hydraullics in construction, saw mills, and steel mills. The latter being far more sophisticated than the former.
