My battery back is 90kWh. I'm trying really hard to be more energy self-reliant as long as the Dims every now and then wield power and implement their warmageddon cult energy policies. We have an all-electric house and do most of our driving in the EV car (though we every now and then drive the gas pickup). Even with that, we haven't pulled from the grid since April 8, and that was just 29 kWh (total for both April 7 and April 8). Before that we didn't pull from the grid until you go all the way back to March 15.
If I could make my own gasoline or natural gas and store them for later I would. But I can't. So I go with solar, which can be done decentralized (meaning not expecting the power company to build solar farms for the grid). Solar isn't as good as hydrocarbons, except that my solar system is regulated by two people I trust: God provides the sunlight and I manage what happens to the power after that.
Hmmm. Gracias, mucho.
