liked reading the different options. Not to sermonize or anything but we are used to not having power many times. as long as the lights work (via a battery backed UPS), we can do everything else as we have manual alternatives like gas stoves, solar water heaters, solar charging stations, winch pumps, etc. of course manual labor like washing clothes or dishes by hand cannot be avoided.
I guess there are benefits to being dependent as well as indifferent to electrical power!
I lived on a farm at one point - we lost power all the time. Its different when you are prepared for it - when you don't expect power loss and you loose all the food in your fridge - it sucks!
