Don't put it past me!
Well, if you could trust or bought into the myth that solar is the solution then you are dealing with 12V for many things...
If you put a small wind turbine in your yard and adorn your roof with solar panels to be off grid and least not forget the hydroelectric power generating turbine for the creek running through the property...
All 12v and all good...
Guess you neighbors in No VA ain't gonna like you rerouting a steam through their property overnight but if you are sneaky and quick you can get it done overnight, just call in some buddies. We might need to slip a mickey to everyone in the path of this rerout but we will getter done. Gonna need a crane to bucket the earth out of the backyards into the awaiting tandem trucks and we are gonna need to steal * mean borrow the city's sweepers a s probably a fire truck to wash away any evidence of this mystery creek appearing...
So, who is gonna handle the propaganda program planting evidence your neighborhood developers 50 years ago buried this stream that mother nature is gonna reclaim overnight?
Or, do we use tunnel boring machines and excavators underground to do this stealthy and then blow the tunnel after we get it done and flooded, use printed or cast water soluble support structure in honeycomb construction. Have it dissolved by a chemical agent we can seed the flooded tunnel that decomposes into naturally occurring chemicals one would find after 6 hours of exposure ...
The later idea appears more natural and would require different logistics scenario...
How big you want that water flowing through the property's back 40?
I personally would set it up to provide the bulk of the power and deep enough to support some great fly fishing... If magically a bunch of rainbow and brown trout appear in the old stream that mother nature reclaimed a couple days later...then we might need to build an underground cavern these fish had migrated to and that's why no one noticed them...
River then could move to VA and teach fly fishing and lead anglers on fishing trips through your neighborhood... Your hydro power could power a community park and the neighborhood street lights and if neighbors pitch in for a bigger turbine you could power the neighborhood. Of course you could require the neighborhood and sell the controllers and all the new fixtures and energy savings cost savings that would be quickly recooped. Form a LLC that has hoa requirements to fund the power plant with you as landowner and operator the final say...
