The internet has already demonstrated that urban population centers are nont the only places to earn a living. More and more people are learning to work from home.

AND if a product becomes obsolete, companies fold and people loose jobs. A shared pool of information helps people become less dependent on large corporations. The more we can do for ourselves the less we will have to depend on others. Getting started with a simple, cost effective alternative energy project is difficult. Just overcoming the inertial stagnation of apathy can be daunting, BUT here is a simple little project thay may help to get you started....
