Let me be perfectly upfront with you — I am not paranoid, I just know that everyone is more or less out to get me. I understand that most people are focused entirely on themselves and their own needs, and will not hesitate to screw over anyone else to get what they want. I am no better, but at least I am honest about it. For this reason, I am deeply distrustful of the government, and the military, and the police, and the legal system, and the medical-insurance complex, for that matter. My profound distrust in society has made me seek autonomy in any way I can, most recently in the form of a new geothermal heat pump to power my home. I don’t trust the power companies any more than anyone else, so this heating pump allowed me a greater degree of sustainability on my land. A geothermal heat pump pulls energy out of the earth itself, and can both use that power for my home and store that energy for later use. If the power grid goes down, my house will still have electricity and climate control, and will have it as long as the earth keeps turning. I also use to to keep my climate controlled greenhouse the perfect temperature for my plants. Between the climate control in the greenhouse and my growing outdoor garden, I am very close to having sustainability with my food supply, as well. I know the geothermal heat pumps cost quite a bit, but I think it is a smart investment in the future.
