Getting Long-Term

So Captain hasn't had a chance to relocate his career yet, but he's still got his feelers out for opportunities. We have had a bit of time to wrap our head around some practicalities of what we are after and have a lot of options with regards finance. Most of our ideas can't be firmed-up until we have more information but we can start identifying our values and learning more about the possibilities.

At the moment I have a book out from the library on small wind turbines, and I am looking at how micro-hydro (water turbines) and PV (photo-voltaic / solar) systems could be integrated to make the most of our resources and meet our power needs.

Hopefully once we know more about the practicalities of construction, crop cultivation, animal husbandry, power generation and use, and water treatment, we will know whether or not any property we look at will be a wise move, or just a liability.
