Gas takes extraction and logistics to move around, and after having a gas furnace and thinking I’d be warm when the power went out, no dice. Without power to drive the fan, the pilot light sits on and does fuck all. While it was nice and warm when it worked it’s coupled to electricity and just an added bill and something else to maintain in the end.
And 10-15 year lifespan is no different than early solar panel adopters. And at least my nuclear material from the reactor would be recycled unlike most of the solar arrays and windmill blades.
Yep solar arrays are pure garbage. But okay you're Jungle Jim. Off the grid. You procured a turbine to run Jim's Jungle curiosities. You could build a blade out of wood. Not sure you could hoist it onto those horrible pylons needing full land clearance. Because it often needs multiple cranes. But for the same sake of a waterwheel I am sure you could power it. The reason they're carbon fibre, light weight, more durable. A joke, they break yearly in storm surge, when they actually spin, instead of merely rotating, but they spin so quick they need constant realignment. A big huge con. They call out these cranes, they call out these ships, hahaha, they are using the fuel. I mean look the turbine is broken. But they have to constantly realign them. Every time they do, the gas has got more expensive, and the electricity.
Solar panels rarely last a decade. They last far less depending on a number of causes. Weather, heat, battery. Heat possible freezing, greater temperatures, causes the acid to lose the ability to retain charge, it is less than a decade in fluctuating climate. The battery hasn't got much longer, fluctuating charges. But the freaking maintenance behind a dicky system of outdoor panels exposed to the elements, water, wind, snow, storm, heat, etc.
The hand held solar boxes are again more tech garbage. Pure garbage. More waste for the sake of it. Buy the next model, it's a bigger number, and you too can power even more, until your box don't work.
Gas does, coal less, but think how much refining and more parts nuclear does. Look at that contained unit posted. The Toshiba. You just call them up and they fit the next one, when the fuel runs out. Pure tech garbage for the sake of it. But hell it probably works much better than solar or a turbine.
Where is your ability to stockpile and maintain survival. I need a system that will last my lifetime, and can withstand any proposed extremes. Today it's unheard of. Services selling inflating services putting you on grid that increases in costs and maintenance and your reliance on further services. You haven't got a system that doesn't force greater costs. With any systems today, these newer ones, you have lost the ability to withstand anything else, extremes, loss of service, and they are rapidly decreasing in lifetime.
Well, if you own enough property, wood and cutting down trees. Burn the wood to boil water, water drives steam turbine, turbine spins a generator. All of which need spare parts and maintenance but with a few careful purchases it can be done.
You can also have things like a rocket mass heater in your house and use the wood for it as well as the electricity. Not everyone has the lane and trees to do it this way but it’s an option.
Absolutely your own ability to stockpile and maintain. But they're outlawing this method. It is the risk today. Outlawing the emissions and carbon sources for automation and electricity on an inflating grid.
It is the only means insuring your survival. That or a generator. Another faster illegal method.
When those lights go out Florida, anywhere weather. What method keeps you powered. The generator, or a durable system. As previously it often stockpiles or has divested resources available.
