Not true!
Only things connected to large “antennas” could be affected.
And the gas the generator would use to run? How do you get more of that without the refineries that are connected to those large antennae?
They had to truck in gas to So MS post Katrina from Texas. Because the pumping stations on the pipeline down here were nonfunctioning. Because, hey, No Electricity!
Stations used up their own gas supplies fairly quickly via generator. And then resupply got dicey...most counties in far So MS reserved any fuel for LEOs, EMT’s, ambulance and fire services. The power company trucks were next. Getting the pumping station up and running in Collins MS was a big deal.
Imagine if all the pumping stations were toast? Or even just half of them. Imagine if 50% of the refineries in this country went caput at once?
And don’t think the blue city thugs will stay put. They associate those red counties with farming and food.
