People who are interested in living off he grid or homesteading or simply being green usually focus on reducing the need for power much more than they focus on supplying enough through solar. Sometimes whole houses are wired with DC bulbs just so the power does not need to be inverted back to AC again with the accompanying loss.If you read any of the articles about living life in any of these ways you will see an emphasis on washing dishes by hand. hanging out laundry to dry, going without things, etc.The dirty little secret of the green movement is that all the talk about unplugging your toaster when you are not using it is just to make people feel good about being a part of the green movement. If people are a part of the movement they will support it and its political goals.And make no mistake the political goals will eventually be about restricting what you can use and how much power you can use.Real green savings are moderate at best and result in market forces being allowed to influence power use. (which is why I started the thread called I'm greener than you)
