And, if the cell towers have no power....?
I think a landline is 5 or 6 volts, which is enough to power LEDs and even recharge a cell phone, if you rig it correctly (hey, that may be the definition of irony right there).
Question: If I do not subscribe to a landline service, will the phone company know I hacked into their box and am stealing their 5 volts?
Never seen that happen, myself. We lose our power about every month, but it seems to be localized.
