The Happy Hoarder: Waxing poetic

By Staff Reports | February 20, 2012

Candles

You may have noticed that The Happy Hoarder has a thing for being able to see in the dark. I'd hoard solar if I could afford the dang stuff. Ironic, then, that the sun is free. Well, I'll get me some panels one of these days because it's like that fancy-pants finance guy Chris Martenson says; in the post peak oil world the difference between no energy at all - say, no … [Read more...]
