communities will see the benefit of independent resources of power generation.

Grid was down at the dynachrome mansion from 11 am yesterday to 6 am today due to monster winter storm. I did ok and would have been ok for awhile. Coleman stove for coffee and cooking. Heat would have been an issue by tomorrow (small kerosene heater for indoors). Plenty of snow for water, but water to house stayed on. No cell phone service, but could text once in awhile.

One Second After by William Fortchean is a very good book on the matter. It’s a novel, and it moves quickly.

The beauty of America was dispersed power, local decision-making, dispersed responsibility, but a unified culture tying it all together.

We have gone the opposite direction on all of these. Centralized power to support the empire in Washington DC, and divided culture and politics making agreement elsewhere impossible.

That’s when “Black Swans” occur.

That’s when the Zombie Apocalypse happens.

If the grid goes down ‘elites’ in that Venezuelan hellhole will still be eating caviar and going out to A-list restaurants. That’s how it works in commie hellholes - the thugs at the top don’t hurt. It’s what our ‘deep state’ would do to us if they could get away with it...

That's how it works in commie hellholes. Thugs at the top don't do without - that's for the little people. Starvation's part of communism. Read up on commie history.

It's what our ‘deep state liberal thugs ’ would do to us if they could get away with it...

There are two inherent problems with using electricity.

Problem 1. Quick battery recharging
Problem 2. Efficient, economical small scale AC power generation.

Although we can be confident that U.S. grid maintenance has a better track record than Venezuela’s, because the U.S. civilian electric grid is largely unprotected against EMP effects (which can be generated by either the sun or an enemy regime’s nuclear attack), we too could face the kind of devastating societal collapse ...

Our corrupt deep State would rather expand their fiefdoms than SOLVE PROBLEMS BY HARDENING THE GRID.

Yep, let's hire another thousand 'intelligence' thugs to write reports... RATHER THAN USING THE MONEY TO SAFE GUARD THE COUNTRY BY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM... NOT JUST 'WRITING IT UP'...

If/when the grid goes down, I’m eating the ice cream first from the freezer. Outside of losing what’s in the freezer, the worst would be no FR. The best thing would be no more scammers calling 24/7 and no more CNN.

We’d be fine for a while with water and food and protection of those.

I went out in the garage and looked lovingly at our three filled blue 55 gallon water containers. Well and our one year of food. Because ya just never know. 😊
