Time and time again we have witnessed our power grid fail to work in emergencies.

Whether it’s from a storm, an earthquake, or a tornado, power outages are very frequent in the U.S.

If we want to be self-sufficient, we have to reduce our reliance on the grid. 

One way to do this is by exploring alternative energy sources.

These sources are not just environmentally friendly but also allow us to generate our own power.

In this newsletter, we’ll take a look at three popular alternative energy sources: solar, wind, and biomass.

• Solar Energy

Solar energy is one of the most widely used alternative energy sources.

And is ideal for preppers who want to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint.

Solar panels convert sunlight into energy.

And with advances in technology, they’ve become much more efficient. 

Installing a solar panel system can be a bit costly at first…

But over time, it will pay for itself as you no longer have to use the power grid for electricity.

• Wind Energy.

Wind energy is another popular alternative energy source, especially for those who live in windy areas. 

Wind turbines generate electricity by harnessing the power of the wind. 

Just like with solar panels, wind turbines can be a significant upfront payment, but will be reducing your electricity bills in the future.

Additionally, wind turbines are relatively low-maintenance and have a long lifespan.

• Biomass Energy.

Biomass energy is a type of renewable energy that is generated from organic matter, such as wood chips, agricultural waste, and sewage. 

It can be used to generate electricity or heat houses.

Unlike solar and wind energy, biomass energy is often used in rural areas and is ideal for preppers who have a lot of land and want to make the most of it.

I believe that every prepper should have at least one way to produce natural energy.

Whether it’s from the sun, wind, or biomass, the decision is up to you.

It will vastly reduce your reliance on the grid, and you will be saving important resources in the future.

Do you produce your own energy in your house? I’d love to hear about it!
