Speaking of inadequate electric grid, I had to bite the bullet on a tesla powerwall because of PG&E shutting the power off constantly here in the mountains where I live. As soon as the wind picks up a little they turn it off for fear of starting a fire. God forbid they invest in updating the infrastructure.
Good news is, between the powerwall and my solar setup I'm pretty much cost neutral and the grid going down doesn't really affect me much since I can still charge the truck (albeit at a slower pace than usual). Can't restrict my mobility if I ain't dependent on them for it
Having to go to a gas station to pump fuel that's transported from the other side of the planet on the other hand...I suspect there are more ways the government can disrupt that supply chain.
