Well, I took the obvious way out, in light of a rigged election - last year I worked all year and built a modest independent solar system. I spent most of my Soc Sec and it will only do so much... but a prepper knows how to ration power usage.
It's never too late!
Of course if you have a full time flowing stream on your property or live in a windy mountain pass, that's a potentially quick solution also. And - the stream offers modest refrigeration!
