Was expecting an article about other places than the US 😅
Sometimes it feels like the phrase “offgrid living” is almost entirely an American-English phrase. There are some UK-based off-grid discussion, but more than 90% of the time when I’d see this expression on reddit, there was an implicit assumption of US-centeredness. I lived off-grid a substantial portion of my life and it has almost all been outside the USA. So while I applaud those who manage to escape grid-dependence in the USA, for a person thinking of how to do it; I want to remind them that the first simplifying step can sometime be to simply go somewhere it is more easily achieved.
Hmm, I guess most people in other parts of the world consider off-grid an unfortunate necessity in some cases and not something to voluntarily choose (as the article implies).
Me too. Especially because none of these states are appealing. 🤣
