Ernie, how did you become interested in renewable and sustainable economies in Fairfield?

Is it possible for a community our size, or a state like Iowa to have its own economy?

Does this mean we cut our selves off from the rest of the world?

Do you think it is important for families and communities to be self-reliant? That is, “off the grid”?

How does your wife Betty figure in all this? What does she have to say?

Are you and Betty “off the grid”? How? In food? Clothing? Shelter?

Thanks, Ernie, we would love to interview your wife Betty and hear her side of the story!
