I won’t give it up. Not until I know for a fact that there will never be a power outage. The grid is getting worse and we are supposed to become more dependent on it? Hell no.
I’m with you, but language has a scary amount of influence over how people perceive the world around them.
It’s going to be a sad day when I have to replace my gas oven and stove with electric appliances. There’s something deeply ingrained in humans that draws us to fire.

You can install your own panels and turbines and storage, or do it together with some neighbors or the city.
Independence is possible with renewables, but not so with fossil fuels.

My goal is not independence my goal is being able to deal with likely situations. Also you seem to think I am some guy with a house and land I own in the middle of nowhere. Did you ask if I rent? Did you ask if my house is a double?
