Again,don't know much about this but no one else has replied...my thought is to start with what devices do you need? a blender? can you power that with a bicycle instead of ethanol? a shaver? can you switch to a straight razor? that kind of thing. Probably you already have...it seems like feeding your pigs, stove, lantern, and truck pretty much covers it. Especially the pigs.
Maybe there are ethanol-powered fridges?? I seem to recall running across something like that...
What are the things you use every day but don't interact with directly--that just run in the background? like your sewage-handling, your fridge, your water supply...do any of these need energy inputs? your computer, your phone, your washing machine...?
That's all I got. . .can you say more what are your daily needs?
