Yea, I don't buy diamonds, and my wife isn't into jewelry so that's not a problem.
As far as the oil companies are concerned, in the next 5 years I hope to have my daily drivers switched over to diesel engines, and modified to run on used vegetable oil.
This year i'll have the air turbine up and running, with the idea of lessening my dependence on the coal fueled power plant.. and i'm hoping to get my electric car for trips into town put together in the next couple years.. and charging it with wind generated electricity.
I'm also interested in building a geodesic dome greenhouse thing with the idea of growing vegetables year round.. or at the very least, have a place to start the plants for the garden a few months early.
My goal is within 10 years to have my little 30+ acre farm largely self sufficient.. at least in regards to food, water, and electricity.
