I have seen the futureCouple years back we were visiting friends in Belgium and at the time what they wre doing seemed an oddity to me but now I realize they were far ahead of the curve in what I believe will be our collective futures.
Outside they had a second generation small solar panel array hanging from under the eaves . Inside they ran a fridge (the 12volt /gas combo you see in RVs) which met all their requirements as in most of Europe the routine of nearl daily shopping for food stuff requires minimal cold storage space.
In the main hall and living areas there was low voltage lighting mounted near the ceiling with motion detectors and a manual on demand switch. This provided them with thje ability to have on demand low level lighting at minimal cost for evening hours.
For anyone that has spent a considerable amount of time in Europe yoiu soon realize how expensive electrical power is and why at night it is so dark in many homes.
This couple thought outside the conventional practice of bening in the dark to save power and put themselves into the future ande into the light of possibilities with the teck of the future.
I believe this senario and many more will become a lifestyle standard in the near future for us all and being a larger shareholder in CRE has put me right in front of the unstoppable wave that is LIthium.
