You know almost every power generator in the world is a steam engine?

You know how easy it is to make a steam engine? Everybody could have thier own generator on a garage pad. Then we could all work on creating perpetual energy for our selves. But the government would have to learn to share when someone figures it out rather than take it for themselves.

Alot of the problems we have in the world we only think we cant solve because weve been raised to be reliant on the system. Would we have starving or homless if anyone was aloud to grow food anywhere? Instead the majority is adicted to the news and social media thinking the only life is a 9-5 were we scrounge to balance food and rent.

Humans are far more intelligent and resilient than we are lead to believe. If you broke off from society, what are you capable of? What and where would you go off and learn?

What would homeowners use for fuel?

And would it be as efficient as a power plant? My guess is consolidation and scale is more efficient, otherwise I presume power companies would already have small satellite microplants in every neighborhood.

And would you want emissions near your house?

@JoyfulSilence the usual house requires about 30 Kw/hr. Not a whole lot. If you had a few solar panels, a windmill and a small steam engine, you could charge all your storage batteries and have a ton extra to sell or share with neighbours.

@GuyWithOpinions

At least the solar panels and windmills do not require fuel.

Maybe they could be used to heat up that water, too. At least for hot water for people in sinks and showers.

@JoyfulSilence you can use anything that produces heat for fuel.
