    ok so assuming i graduate and eventually get a good paying job, whats the best way to live 'off the grid' so to speak? i want to harvest my own solar energy and capture wind energy as well. but would it be enough to power a household without being plugged into the power companies system? is it expensive?

    Id say stick with solar. It is expensive but only in the short term. That is why the world is not using it more. It costs a lot to get started (buying and installing the large solar panels, adn then maintenance), but you can end up making money in the long run if you collect enough to feed back into the grid.
