While I have purchased Life, Health, Car, Home and other insurance policies most people don’t have any insurance for society as we know it going away.

What will you do when you can’t get to the grocery or that it wouldn’t do any good if you could, they don’t have anything?

What will you do when the temperature outside is 10°F and will be for the next few weeks and the gas company doesn’t have any.

What will happen to all that food in the refrigerator when you don’t have any electricity for 2 or more months?

Since I am an old man I don’t want to be put out horribly when the SHTF. A generator is useless. I have two of them but they won’t last long, there won’t be any fuel for them.

When people see that I have solar cells on my roof they think I’m crazy or a tree hugger or something. When the power goes I don’t even know about it until a neighbor tells me.

We cook with electricity because the sun makes it for us. I’m just hopefull I can make enough in the winter time to keep the heat pump going to keep the house warm so I don’t have to use up all my wood in the fireplace. I originally put a lot on the roof so as to provide a/c in the summer. I have enough when the sun shines but so often where I live we will have a long stretch of cloudy days. We make enough to get by on cloudy days but only if we don’t use the A/C.

I have enjoyed having the solar. I enjoyed doing the research to decide what I needed. I can’t say I enjoyed installing it, but none of the electricians I tried to hire to do it felt competent enough to do it. It isn’t complicated but it looks that way.

If this article doesn’t scare you then you either have Solar electricity on your house with A LOT of food and water stored or your stupid.

Be prepared.
