But I think that has been their plan all along.
Take everything they can from everyone they can so effectively no one can create their own energy independence.
Because it's all about control, that's all its ever been about, "saving the world" is just the lie the agenda hides behind.
You are taking some great steps. One of the few non professor people I talk to that is really doing anything to become self sufficient and resilient. We can't rely on the current status quo of governments. It's up to us. To teach people. To take control of governments back to the people. But we are stuck with a market economy system which cannot be left to act freely with no price added to consider the value of consuming non renewable resources. Or no price added for the sink of the waste streams. Right now all we pay is mostly just for the cost of extraction with nothing put aside for the future that will not have these things and has to deal with the long term effects of the waste streams. But the world is way too crowded and interconnected and resource demanding for Libertarian ideals to reign. We would be wise to figure out how to cooperate on a world level to get down off of this consumption bubble and distribute capital, labor, and resources where they make the most sense for survival. Of all things. For the next 200,000,000 years that Earth will be in the habitable zone of our Sun. Think resilience. Think deep time.

This takes world coordination. Which means wise world government.
