Let’s get the obvious out of the way.  High gas prices are bad for all of us because they affect everything around us driving costs of all goods through the roof.  Increased costs equal low consumer confidence, low spending, etc.  It’s all bad news all the time.  That is of course if you don’t see the silver lining.  High gas prices are a wake up call.

From our perspective, high gas prices have made us look at every aspect of our business.  What we pay to our suppliers, how much we charge our customers, what kind of service vehicles we buy; it’s endless.  This is exactly what all businesses must to do on a frequent basis to ensure their future.  Not only must businesses take a hard look at themselves from top to bottom constantly, so too must consumers.  Where to save money, how to be more efficient, how to ensure their family’s future are a few important problems everyone faces.  We sat down and asked ourselves these questions and realized that there’s a ton that we can do to help our customers solve their problems even though we’ll never physically be able to lower gas prices.

To start, disconnect from the grid as much as possible, slowly, over time.  Not everyone can afford to outfit their home with all of the latest technology that will enable them to cut the cord.  What everyone can do is make improvements little by little until eventually every home in America is 100% independent of manufactured energy.  Combine the efficiency of home automation, solar power, wind power and various other new technologies to come up with a solution that will make you energy independent.  Start somewhere, start anywhere.  We can help.

We’ll post more information about our plans and how we can help you become energy independent over the coming weeks and months.  There’s so much to say that I could write a book about it but that wouldn’t get us anywhere today.  Keep your eyes on Connecting Tomorrow for simple and affordable solutions for your energy indepedence.
