I would like to add that at present the kitchen is supplied with our homegrown vegetables, potatoes and fruit, served with mackrel (home smoked) or seabass caught from the shore.

A woodstove will be installed shortly, which will for a large part will be filled by wreckage

Holiday to the sun cancelled, will instead be spend at the local beach.

Westexas, how does an independent energy consultant implement ELP?

"Westexas, how does an independent energy consultant implement ELP?"

As Maximus (in the movie "Gladiator"), said, "Imagine it and will be so."

Assume:  

(1)  Your income is down by at least 50%;

(2)  Energy (and food) prices are up by at least 100%

What actions would you then take regarding your lifestyle?

My recommendation is that you try to become, or work for, a provider of essential goods and services. It sounds to me like you doing quite well.

WesTexas,

Very well put! I shall save that bit of advice, and use it on people who are just waking up.

Not yet!(but soon)
Work for an oil company.
