Those Indie films I have planned are not about commercial success, I couldn't give a crap about that and anyone that gets involved will also need to accept that.  Like I said, simple things make me happy, I don't need (or want) a fancy house, I'd rather live in a self-built hut in the middle of a forest - so that's what I'll be doing.

The things I do have, I paid for when I had an income, and once I'm out there, I have things that can easliy set me up for life.
Just live simply and depend on no one.

But they'll never be able to cut-off my energy because THEY don't own my energy ... I do ... and they cannot steal the sun :-D
I can generate my own energy - solar power.

Even here, in cloudy old England with it's infamous rainfall and overcast, I still managed to survive a solar-power test quite easily, even running the computer for a serious amount of time.  Simply charged-up the inverter using the panels and away it went - free electricity!  I have a lovely set of panels all ready for the off, ready to be loaded onto the back of a truck whenever and wherever I decide to go.  In fact, I've learned how to make the charging system slightly more efficient, and that worked too (at least I think it did, to an extent) - but either way, plenty enough energy for me.  I could even manage with four panels if I really wanted to, but I'm glad I bought six.

Have to say, the panels generated more than electricity, they generated a big smile accross my face when I plugged into the inverter for the first time.
Like I was saying ... about taking advantage of Google and YouTube instead of letting them take advantage of me ... I learned about panels etc.

So yup, I would be bothered about those extortionate energy company assholes if I had to depend on them, but seeing as I don't, I'm not in the least bit bothered.  And I don't care what prices they'll be charging in the future, either, because I won't be paying them, they won't be getting a penny out of me once I ditch England.

Hell, the only reason I'm paying them now is for convenience, it's not like I can dangle six large solar panels temporarily from the roof (tempting as it is to do so).  Had to lay them out on plastic sheets in the garden and bring them in at night when I tested them.

Anyway ... 'nough of that ... I'm not giving away all my secrets to the good life.
