Living off the grid – not just for hippies
Author Nick Rosen travels America to discover the motivations behind living without the U.S. electrical grid with surprising results. It might sound like the stuff of hippie delusions, but it turns out there are a lot of reasons people live off the grid, and sometimes it isn’t a choice. Whether he is talking with a staunch libertarian who sees this unique lifestyle as a good way to keep government out of his life, or to a die hard environmentalist who can’t imagine any moral alternative, Rosen delves into diverse views on American independence.
