The world's gone mad!! Although we have a lot of government nonsense here, there is no issue with what you do on land you own or land adjacent that noone is using. mind you our nearest neighbours are about 7kms or more away from us. we are thinking of installing a wind turbine as the kaskasi and kusi winds are very strong but i think thats a project for further on down the line, wind turbine use in east africa is not very developed and i know very little about it!
Have sold up in the UK, now living on Mafia Island, in the middle of an old coconut plantation. We catch our fish, have chickens, grow fruit and veg. We are powered by solar and an ankur gasifier - no mains elec here!!
