Page three and no one has addressed the sewage system on those ugly shipping containers. You gonna build yourself a small out house like back in the old days and trek out there in the dark if you have to shit late at night/early am?

BS, those weekend warriors and enthusiasts are an inconsequential drop in the bucket compared to all the trucks, trains, planes, and boats that are constantly bringing me my Amazon boxes on a daily basis.Caspian wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2017 12:53 amI used to do the toy hauler thing for a few seasons at the dunes, 8-10 times each season.

Legitimate way to disappear and go off the grid for cheap.
Going off grid is something that has appealed to me for a few years now specifically using solar and wind, and possibly water power as well. I would like to find a community of farmers, kind of a private community that all chip in and farm food and live sustainable. I look at all these people today in the car world and motorcycle world, power boats, airplanes, motorsports, etc, and I think, how stupid are these people, they are all seeing who can use up the planets resources the fastest. I love cars and bikes, boats, etc but to me they are now an obsolete "technology" that is being heavily controlled and forced upon mankind for the profit of the corporate industries.

Good point, they are all part of it. True, it is nice to have consumerism at our fingertips (hehe tip), but humanity does need to slow down.SixSpeeder wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2017 4:39 pmBS, those weekend warriors and enthusiasts are an inconsequential drop in the bucket compared to all the trucks, trains, planes, and boats that are constantly bringing me my Amazon boxes on a daily basis.Caspian wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2017 12:53 am

We all about bubbles and how the car industry is one that is primed to burst, and then is all when he looks at the beans, and everyone else makes fun of TRUK, etc. etc.

Big time. But in some areas (like mine) it doesn't really pay off.

Do you have nay idea how much energy it takes to make a solar panel?

Tech has gotten alot better, but the payoff to where the module "repays" the energy used to mine, make, and install it is anywhere from one to 4 years. In a lifetime they can make anywhere between 15 and 60 times the energy they used to make em.
I'm not sure if these calculations account for losses for conversion to AC though the inverter. They almost certainly do not account for the energy used for making that component.
Solar works, but its still a niche thing.

[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 9:47 amI just think it's easier to track the amount of waste in the solar energy industry than any other industry simply because there's less moving parts and less room for fudgery (gov't grants notwithstanding). You have the solar panel production, and the solar panel installation. Instant delivery of energy to the consumer, and excess gets delivered back into the grid.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 9:37 am

Because there are less stakeholders (and thus less profit), it's easier for the and of the world to go
Meanwhile, for the other energy industries: You have the people finding said energy source, machines and people mining or harvesting said energy source, machines and people building the facility to process the raw material, the machines and people needed to transport said energy source, and finally the machines and people building the facility to expend said energy source, all before it finally gets transmitted to the consumer. Lots of room for padding the profits.
raw materials still need to be mined for solar panels.

It should be mandated for every warehouse, factory, office building, storage facility, big-box store, government building, etc. There must be hundreds if not thousands of square miles of flat roof surface in this country that should have panels on them.

And they should be manufactured in coal powered facilities in China, keep the pollution over there while we get nice and green.
