I simply can't drill my own oil and refine it into gas (to fuel a gas car and be mostly self-reliant with my transportation) like I can produce power to charge our EV. Of all the miles we drove it in the past 12 months, 15K of them were charged at home. Of all the power my home needed in the past 12 months (including charging the EV), 80% of it was homemade power (the other 20% had to be pulled from the grid).
If I'm right that the Dims will keep pushing their warmageddon cult to use their energy policies to slowly control us more and more with energy price inflation and regulating how much access we each have, then those of us unhappy with government control will be making ourselves less dependent on the public energy market. Put another way, think prepping, not for total collapse of society (like surviving in a Mad Max movie with a year supply of food and such), but against the slow boil killing the frog by making us chose more and more to give up our freedoms to enjoy the comforts in life.
