Seems like making electricity from the action of bacteria is a great idea, however, at this point, the fuel cell doesn't seem to make that much energy. Scientists are trying to up the amount of energy and have done so, but not enough yet. Does anyone know much about this? I'm trying to find a way to make our bioregion (vilcabamba, ecuador) energy independent. Looking forward to some responses.

Love,

Hi, I created a website in 1998 with the idea of using the internet such that individuals and groups could gain and share info about low-tech self-sustainable practices. My website was called Through the Bagelhole and was a non profit. I changed the name eventually to sharingsustainablesolutions, since, though it wasn't as much fun as the previous name it was a lot clearer. Unfortunately, I was so busy with other things that after the first year of collecting about 300 articles, I have sloughed off the project, especially since google became what it is today, which undermined the value of my project.

Now, I am living in Vilcabamba, Ecuador, hoping to find land and create a self-sustainable as possible community, with a foundation of unconditional love, unity, harmony, which is even trickier sometimes than becoming self-sustainable. It also may be a performing arts community.

Vilcabamba is kind of a magical place where everything seems possible. At the end of the month there will be self-sustainable festival at the community center.

In some ways its a lot easier to be self-sustainable here than elsewhere due to the moderate climate (60-80 degrees F all year round), and that is a big reason why I am here. Its also interesting that there are many gringos here who believe in zero point energy machines, though I haven't seen one yet. This is led by Brian O'Leary, the x-astronaut, physicist.

If any of this resonates with you, please feel free to contact me.
