I didn't think of that. But there's still plenty of gas. And the power comes from a 12 volt battery which can be charged by a solar power array. But could someone else possibly post some info on solar 12 volt systems? They sell them here but are expensive. Very useful for wilderness cabins and to save on the electric bill. Also wind power generators, and even bicycle power? Small stream water power also. There are also manual cranking chargers for radios, and many other electrical generators. I've been to alternate energy shows in the past which have many useful ideas for safe energy generation. But there is no need to fear the energy or internet grid failing. But people should be more prepared, which this germ crisis is helping with. Spiritual readiness is our calling as Christian's, which I need more help with since I find it a challenge to find Christian fellowship even when churches are open. But thank God there are many resources through the electronic media. But, Christian ministry is meant to be in person.
Harbor freight has a 100 watt solar panel kit for $190 that includes a controller and even two cords with 12 vote bulbs.
Buy a 12 vote marine battery at Walmart for $100 and a 400 watt inverter for $40 and you can run internet and lights all day an night. Inverter must be no more than 2 feet from battery or you will lose wattage.
I have 3 batteries wired in series for longer life. Same batteries for 10 plus years now.
So for $400 to $600 you can have a system that will supplies your needs for internet, phone, tv and lights.
I have 5 different systems (total cost less than $3000) that have powered my house for 10 years now.
Use 4 at a time with 1 always in reserve.
Now thy will not power appliances, have a propane ref. and a small 2000 watt generator when I need more power.
Have not had a power bill for 10 years now
