We have been very lucky so far. It's only a question of time before we're hit by a heat dome like the one that wrecked BC.

I currently make about 100% of my power during the sunny days but it will take an upgrade and investment into a insular and black start capable system with a few kWh storage buffer to be able to run AC when the grid is down. Not cheap and will take some planning.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.
