Editor’s note: As a long-time fan, and still relatively new board member, at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage, I’ve always been impressed with their willingness to push just a bit further in terms of making the village both sustainable and comfortable. The grid project, which Zachary Shahan of Cleantechnica describes in more detail below, is pretty ambitious… but will also make DR more attractive to potential new residents, help them avoid those “dark days” when there’s just not enough sunlight to keep the power on, and allow them to push excess capacity onto the larger electrical grid.
