Too bad if your a Pepco customer because it seems that you must be pretty used to power outages by now. It really makes you wonder if there is a better way. I mean, is it wise to rely on the mains grid for electricity when you could probably make your own using solar power, wind turbines and even geothermal. There are actually a lot of options available to you and probably would be able to let go of your dependancy on companies like Pepco.

However it really depends on where you live and what sort of property you have. For solar power you live somewhere sunny like Florida then you shouldn’t have any problems with a shortage of sunlight but for those further north it can be more of a problem. That’s not to say that you can’t use solar power but it just won’t be as effective. You need to make sure that you place the panels on a south facing roof and it helps a lot if it’s placed at an angle so that it can get the most of the sun. Anyway, it’s just an idea and one that people might start to consider more when they are let down by the electrity companies.

In addition to solar panels you might also want to look at various solar powered products such as solar lighting, fish pond fountains, birdbath fountains and battery chargers. One other advantage to some of these solar products is that you don’t need any wireing which is great if you aren’t much of an electrician. And let’s face it, who is!

I really like the idea of being self sufficient. Power companies let us down way too much.
