Living in Florida like I do, there’s always the threat of losing power for some time due to a hurricane or something of that nature.
For example, when Hurricane Irma happened several years ago a friend of the family was without power for somewhere around two weeks.
The fact that they had an electric stove and couldn’t really cook anything didn’t really help matters either.
They ended up staying at our place for a couple of days until the power came back on and I was glad to help them. This also got me thinking, I need to be prepared for any eventual electrical outage that is going to last more than an hour or two.
This is why I eventually got myself one of those fancy solar generators and a complement of solar panels that you might have seen one of those van life people using in their YouTube videos.
It certainly isn’t going to power the whole house and there’s a chance all of the ice cream in the freezer is going to be doomed, but I can at the very least collapse things down to essentials and keep my family safe and relatively cool.
The generator is great, but the portable panels are where it is at because you have to think of what happens in the event that you’re without electricity for more than a day. You need to be able to keep the thing charged.
That’s kind of a silly notion isn’t it, that the electricity is going to run out. It’s a much bigger possibility than you think and I’m not talking about some short-term thing.
I’m talking for good.
Multiple states have been waving emergency flags that indicate that our nation’s entire power grid is on the verge of complete and total collapse. Part of the problem is in the so-called clean energy.
Now, you might recall that a moment ago I mentioned a generator and portable solar panels. Sure, solar power might be great for the idea that you’re out camping, in a motor home, or something you use in an emergency.
This stuff was never meant for long-term use among a mass of people.
But the Biden EPA is trying to push these clean energy initiatives while at the same time handcuffing traditional power plants from being able to do the things they were meant to do.
This means that over time, we are going to be suffering from more blackouts and eventually a complete and total collapse.
It’s like removing the steering wheel from a car. Sure, you can keep the thing moving, but not for long.
