Would you be prepared for a power outage such as the one South Florida experienced Tuesday?  What if that outage lasted days or even weeks instead of hours?  Apparently others are thinking about such possible calamities we may face.  Ted Twietmeyer has written an article called “The Power Failure From Hell”, describing the difficulties we’ll experience if there is a major failure of electricity.  For instance, not only will your home lights and appliances be off, but you won’t be able to access your bank account or get gasoline in your car.

            Now is the time to prepare for such extreme situations.  Of course, you’ll stock up on rechargeable batteries and a solar battery charger from Real Goods.  You would also do yourself a big favor by getting a copy of the Solar Living Sourcebook from Real Goods.  This is the fully updated, 30th Anniversary Edition of the Solar Living Sourcebook, edited by Real Goods President and Founder John Schaeffer.  This 600 page softcover book is the ultimate resource on renewable energy, sustainable living, alternative construction, green building, homesteading, off-the-grid living and alternative transportation.  You get the latest nuts and bolts information on how to harvest renewable energy sources to power your home. Discover how to sell that renewable energy back to your utility company.  Also discover how to site and build your dream eco-home and how to minimize your use of fossil fuel, and more.

            This isn’t simply about conserving energy.  It’s about planning and taking action for your survival when there’s no electricity at all.  Click on the Real Goods logo and order the Solar Living Sourcebook while there’s still time.
