One of the world's leading experts on trend forecasting says that producing our own energy for our homes and cars (called "micro generation") will become a huge trend in the next couple of decades.

Indeed, if the economy really crashes, we may not be able to rely on centralized energy producers and utilities or large-scale agriculture and transportation. So getting a head-start in thinking about micro energy and food production will not only save us money, it will give us confidence in uncertain times.

Energy

every day





- A new generation of highly-efficient wind turbines (and see this) is being introduced which can produce much more energy





- And new approaches to solar energy (see this and this) are making residential solar very cost-competitive



even more money

Food





- You can grow vegetable gardens vertically (it doesn't look that great, but it works)





- You can get chickens and buy or build a chicken coop for eggs and chicken meat (my wife got 4 chicks a couple of weeks ago; I thought at first she was nuts, but they are actually easy to keep)

Silver Lining?
