ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Energy independence

Energy independence means having a way to generate your own energy. You don't need to rely on a big power plant or other power sources to provide energy. Instead, you can get energy from a green source such as the sun or wind. You can use solar panels or wind turbines to turn these natural sources into electricity and power your home. This way, you are not relying on the energy from the grid, and you will have more control over your energy.
