Getting Started
Firstly, finding a chunk of land -- I've got some ideas myself.
Then there comes the basics:
- -[Water]
- -Food
- -Shelter
- -Electricity

The Basics
Electricity is a lot less complicated than it used to be. There are so many options now and the tech gets better every month.
The rest will vary greatly depending on where we are at.
Once we figure out energy storage (a must with most sources of electricity), we can potentially create a system that can do double duty. I see no reason why a steam powered turbine couldn't be run off of solar energy during the day, and then its steam output be redirected to a condensation unit of some sort for desalination/purification of water. I am sure someone in the group may have a better idea of the engineering side of this.
If we have good soil, and a stable source of water (and hopefully electricity), then at least part of the food situation will be in hand. Food and water is likely where multiple communities will have to work together.
Shelter will need to be approached in a manner that is efficient, but careful not to spoil the land. Especially if we intend to farm it and/or take water from it. Burlingk (talk) 19:52, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
