RE: 10 Reasons Why Earthships Really Are Fuc!*ng Awesome!
Alex, I have long wanted to ask, but forgot. How are you doing with the fridge? In the book you wrote that you do not have it. Are you still doing without it? How do you organize food storage? Do you have any ice cave?
GREAT question!
well, since the last year i have a FRIDGE again! i was in the local shop ((in india) and saw they had some new looking 5**** enefgy efficient ones.. i spun it round as i always do, and checked the power use.. It said it only used the equivalent of 50 Watts!! its a proper fridge /freezer.. and my mind was blown!
its works on a new digital compression pump that can work at a lower speed, it is virtually totally silent and i checked it with a clamp meter as soon as i got it, and it was showing 48Watts.. I also turn it off at 10pm and on again at 8m, .. so it hardly draws much power.. in fact i dont even notice it most of the year as my batteries are running at 100% most of the day, and i go to bed nice n early.
I can attest! It works great and (so far) has had no issues with either power or function... it's like a whole new ear of crisp Broccoli! Nice article Baba, lots of new info and links. Sending love to you all at the farm, keep the rhythms rocking!
