LOL With your wiring done properly, you can use the electricity that stored in your car's batteries and charge it when the rolling blackouts aren't affecting you. Meaning that you'd not only have electricity, you wouldn't have to worry about it when the power's out for a few hours or even a few days.
Also, it was fossil fuels that failed in the electricity generation - solar and wind mostly still worked at capacity. A few modern solar panels and you're not only well charged, you're able to keep your lights and heat on. Add in a 'battery wall' and you're good to go. Back home, you can cut my power off completely and I'm good for at least 7 days.
It's not as though the power goes out and all the energy in your car suddenly disappears. Just like the gas you have stored, you have energy stored in the car.
LoL I do not know what caused the blackouts in Texas, I have seen articles blaming everything, I think each sector is trying to blame the other.
That is cool though that you can power when the power is out through your car. I think that is what you meant. The car can power the house.
And I know you have back up power generation at your place. You live in the boonies, you need that there, especially in the dead of winter. That is planning ahead!
I don't know what the hell is wrong with me today, I just tried to send a text to one of my women saying 'I Love you' and it went to one of my buddies instead of who I meant it for, he texted me back, what the fuck?
Yeah, you can use the car as a store of energy. It's awesome.
Also, if shit hits the fan, it's a fuck of a lot easier to generate electricity than it is to generate gasoline, or even diesel.
To generate electricity, you need to spin iron inside a ring of copper. So, anything that's in motion constantly will work - from wind to water.
There is an electrician supply company in my area that has a billboard near the river that they installed a turbine in the river and whenever the power goes out at night their sign is the only thing all lit up. So yeah I do know, even today, that you can produce electricity by spinning things LoL
