Thanks, I agree with that sentiment. It's like the dudes on the prepping show that go out to shoot transformers for oil to run the tractor.
Great if you never will see power again. Not so great if they have to actively replace everything because a guy lost power for the week.
Some people let their emotions control them. For some there's some visceral, gut feeling that makes them unable to embrace electric motors - but only if they're used to power a car. They sell themselves short. For $2,000 bucks they can buy enough used solar panels to fill up their car every day enough to drive 250 miles. Those panels will last for decades. $2,000 bucks for enough "gas" to drive at least 900,000 miles, but they won't do it because it makes them angry. Sort of strange, really.
