None of it will matter. That said, short term FUBAR can be mitigated. I have a semi-portable solar setup that currently runs my internet, NAS, Fridge and to some degree, the A/C.

To prep for the serious mess, I have to get Faraday bags for my server, drives, and solar generator and have enough time to bag everything before the EMP hits.

I have survival guides in book form as well as on the NAS, and I work the land enough to bring the soil into balance and build its fertility, plus feed the bees so they’ll be there when I need them.

Yes, I know. Like I said, “can’t” do the math expected of their employees for their work. Theare able to measure the kilowats going into millions of homes, but can’t measure the kilowatts they consume. So they get potentially 90% of the electricity dirt cheep, but charge everybody as if they paid the highest price on the market for all of it.

Funny how these businesses are able to tailor prices to individuals by spying on them, but they can’t figure the math to calculate their costs by source.

Convenient problem, isn’t it?

Alright. Didn’t know the “e” was so significant.

Not yet. Forced selling all over. Note also that alternatives to silver are in refinement.

Perovskite might not need silver as it’s a completely different process from silicone. Initially, It’s mostly going to be added to silicone panels as a layer to use spectrum silicone doesn’t use, thus boosting their efficiency.

The DIY option is simpler than that. Just hook some heavy draw appliances to the solar generator permanently and plug the generator into the grid to pass through electricity when the battery drains to a defined level. When solar charges it to a higher level (usually +10%) it triggers the direct use of solar again.
