I’ve moved since I registered.
I envy your confidence in the continued operation of important stuff after an EMP attack.
May the force be with you.
It’s not “confidence.” I’m a redneck. I’m a Neanderthal! I swap transmissions, pull water well pumps 200 ft. on 1-inch lines by hand to replace ‘em—stuff like that. For well systems, I like cisterns instead of expansion tanks and gravity feed wherever possible. Why? Because that stuff is heavy and big! [Familyop flexes droopy, old muscles, aging pectorals flop up and down nearly audibly.]
I like real utilities from the past—big, heavy, clunky, weird things that work. For example, closed loop, high pressure, high heat, state-of-the-art solar-radiant heating systems with big boilers full of antifreeze! Nooooooo. Old-timey, low pressure, low heat drainback system for me, with tons of tons of concrete, insulation and the like (pronounced “lack”). No antifreeze here.
City slickers, important utility plants have auxiliary power, fuel storage and preferences for fuel...and mucho security—layers of it.
The following is not my video, but shows a fine example of the leadership that we really need.
