Not even close to true. Propaganda talk. Also, good luck when the power goes out. Just stop the nonsense.

Funnily enough, gas pumps require electricity. However, you can generate electricity yourself with solar panels, wind generation, or other methods. You can't generate your own gasoline.

The self-reliant durable solution is electric. If the grid is down and you can't generate your own electricity then your gas heating is down, gas pumps are out, and almost any other gas system is shut down unless they're hooked up to a generator of some kind (gas, solar, etc.). If you can generate electricity then any will work. If you can't then electric is out of commission just as much as gas. Once the tank/battery is empty then it's dead.

Wait till you find out what can run on alcohol (not just the driver)

Solar power isn't there yet. You're depending on a future dream for you delusional thoughts.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 months ago

Dude, there are people who already do it. What do you mean it isn't there yet? How can people be doing it when it isn't there?

Oh, so I guess the 15kWp on my roof that generated 14 MWh last year was just a dream then.

What went wrong in your life?

Nope, propaganda is propaganda. Sorry you're dumb enough to fall for it.

I absolutely love how you said this to yourself. It's just so perfect.

"Everything I don't like is propaganda" Nice worldview you got there.

I remember the last time the power went out bad, hurricane Fiona, I had a full battery while everyone else was in the long lines for gas during the hour or two a day they had the station generator running to keep the pumps working.

I was fine, thanks so much for caring, I really appreciate the thoughtful concern you've shown here.
