As the world shifts toward energy independence and sustainability, many individuals and communities are turning to alternative energy methods that align with self-sufficiency.

Some of the most accessible systems include:
• Solar Power: Popular for off-grid setups. Can range from small panels to full-home systems with battery storage.
• Wind Power: Effective in areas with steady wind patterns. Small turbines can power tools or supplement solar.
• Micro-Hydro: Uses flowing water (streams, rivers) to generate power. Highly efficient where terrain allows.
• Biogas: Converts organic waste into usable gas for heating or cooking. Best suited for farms or larger homesteads.
• Human-Powered Systems: Pedal generators, manual pumps, or mechanical crank systems are low-tech but reliable.
• Thermal Mass and Passive Solar Design: Not electricity-producing, but important for regulating temperature in homes.
• Plasmoid and Radiant Energy (experimental): Some in the Netist community explore resonance-based or field-aligned energy collection methods, like those inspired by Tesla, Moray, or Thunderstorm Generator designs.

Each method has unique requirements—climate, budget, land type—and different levels of maintenance and output.
Which energy systems have you worked with or are interested in learning more about? What has been most effective for your setup or goals?
