Electricity is about 1/50th of my budget. Gasoline is unavoidably at present more than 25% of my budget. But don't mistake my personal discomfort for common sense energy solutions.
Solar panels USED TO COST 100x that they do now. If a technology is underexploited it will stay costly. Electric cars were a fantasy 20 years ago.
In summer what is the ratio of A/C kWh to non A/C hotel kWh? Wanna save 70+% on refrigerator LPG or heating LPG? A clad and convection cooled large refrigerator suddenly costs $5.00 to operate in the summer -- not twenty five dollars per month.
We shall certainly see what happens in the next year. I planned as best I could and have energy storage and manufacturing that few off-grid folks can better.
