They're thin, flexible Solar Panels and are extremely light.
“Without electricity to pump gasoline or power electric vehicles, just exactly HOW are they going to deliver food?”
And, water will stop flowing. That is the criteria, which you just said plus no water, no delivery of medical supplies to hospitals, for this drill so it will be interesting to see what they will do.
I expect this drill will give them numbers as to how many people will die immediately and in days after loss of power. We can always “imagine” the numbers, but I expect hospitals in the drill will come up with their numbers of how many patients died and when they died.
It’s already a given that millions will die as the premise is power cannot be restored soon. Can anything be done to lessen the numbers? Hospitals could store more critical medicines and have more backup power and develop a way to keep water flowing even if it is in stored containers.
Those of us in individual houses will be on our own as there is no way, as you say, that food or water distribution can happen. They are going to have to admit that.
If a person was having a heart attack how would they get to the hospital? Cars and ambulances use fuel that must be pumped - that takes electricity.
Generators run on fuel... again, fuel that must be pumped after being transported to a station. How would that happen?
To keep a hospital going with a bare minimum (lights, refrigeration, medical machinery... you're looking at days - with modern building designs - windows that don't open, elevators that won't work etc... rescue vehicles that won't run... doctors and nurses who live 'on average' 8 to 30 miles from the hospital... how will they get to work? Or home?
Isn't the estimate that over 90% of the population will die the first year if the grid is down?
