We’re thinking about similar things. I’m not sure where to go and the next few years it’s one of my missions to find a good place to put roots down. As you know it’s a difficult problem and something that changes from epoch to epoch.

It’s good to know others who are working on solving these hard problems. We can share info here and increase what we all know to hone in on the best solutions available.

Yep. Maybe there needs to be a website for people to discuss and rank different solutions for housing, electricity, fresh water, sewage, etc. and get organized, create a set of open source plans 🤔💭

Here’s something I’ve been looking at. 👇They have a 44ft dome version which is 1500 sq ft. Not sure how much it is, but the 36ft version is quoted at $22k. Maybe some of those panels could be replaced with solar panels.

I’m wondering if a complete solution could be found for $50k - $75k per family, not including the land.

Ideally everything would be cookie cutter and scalable. Someone would find a raw piece of land and then start the project with a couple families. A team of specialists would arrive to prepare the land and train the residents. As new families sign up, hopefully it would be straightforward to just add another dwelling. After X families, add another tank, water well, whatever.

With a pre-vetted set of products and systems (solar, water, sewage, etc) maybe costs would be lower and everything easier to maintain. 🤷‍♂️

So many cool products out there. I wonder if this or something like it can also handle the sewage from the home.

And you can be bitcoin mining when you’re not using the biogas for cooking 😉
