Best Community Insurance Options: Group vs Company vs Private vs MPN



Health insurance can be one of the largest expenses a community (in the US) can face. With this in mind, we set out to determine what the best and most affordable option is for a group of 50+ people to choose. We invested more than 250 hours researching all the options. We researched, evaluated, and compared group insurance, company insurance, private/personal insurance, and creation of our own Medical Provider Network. The end result: Properly managed collaborative/cooperative community insurance can save money and provide better options than traditional models. This page shares the details of how.

DIY Grid-tie Remote Energy Infrastructure Setup and Construction How-to



Our team has been singularly focused on the creative and research process for the past 18 months or so. Managing this has gotten me way behind on sharing the results of thousands of hours of work we\'ve done. Starting now, I\'m going to get caught up on the sharing process of what looks to be about 30 open source research tutorials. Here is the first one. This is the research we\'ve done on DIY remote energy infrastructure setup. If you plan to build a remote community, home or business powered with solar or wind and with a grid-tie backup, this tutorial is filled with information you should understand. It includes why a grid-tie backup might be worth considering too.
