As i rotate my eclectic cars to charge on my solar panels and service my heat pumps i can’t help but think about the insanity of our times. Its funny to drive by the long lines at the gas stations and drive for free on my 4 battery cars. Which are 2013 Renault Fluence ZE based on the gas Fluence chassis that were hand made in Turkey. Total production was only 3500 units at a cost of over $130,000 each. I bought them as a collectible car and solar battery bank (when Renault walked away from the partnership with Better Place) I purchased the cars 5 years ago for an average price of Euro 3000 with average millage of 40,000 Kilometers each. I bought the cars when no one wanted them. But seeing the future i realized these were exceptional technology cars. They were too far ahead of their time, predating the Telsa Model 3 by 3 years. My distressed purchases has paid off in spades as I enter the winter with my diesel and LNG backup tanks more than half empty. Gasoline is in short supply costing over $10 a gallon. I refuse to pay the price. But reality is even if i were willing to pay the exorbitant price supplies are and will be severely limited. We have added more batteries to our solar system. And we have now reverted back to mankinds original renewable energy source….. wood as our backup. Which up to lately no one around here wanted wood and we could pick up for free. You better think ahead on what you are going to do not just this winter but years into the future. We use wood to do a lot of our cooking (meat smoker, bake in a Italian pizza oven, wood grill for steaks) and backup heat (our main heat source is heat pumps run off the solar panels) is wood stoves all fueled with wood. Why do i feel burning wood to cook (excerpt for smoking) and heat is a step backwards. Is it so hard to see the reality? This engineered energy crises is not going away anytime soon. City people who are modern apartment cave dwellers are so fucked. And they have not scratched their asses YET and figured it out. They are energy prisoners all their resources Food, energy, water and heat are on a meter controlled by evil men. How do they heat when the building cuts back heat to 60 degrees and charges outrages sums of money? How do they even get wood into their cave in the sky… up the elevator? Or store wood by stacking a cord or 2 in their car port? One cord of wood is 4’x4’x8′. The next question is how do they burn the wood. Most modern apartments have a LCD screen for a fire place. Maybe they can put a chimney out the balcony? For electricity they can hang solar panels out the window? Can you see them growing hydroponic food in their bathtub? And putting a five year food supply in the bedroom closet? Never mind what they do when the water line is cut and costs more then single malt Irish whiskey. Hard to bath with 3 bottles of mineral water. Never mind how do they get the stinky turds to go away. Can’t flush with no water. And remember the building has to pump water up to them and pump the shit out of the building. Makes you wonder what the hell were they thinking. Soon they will pay a higher price then they ever imagined for stupid!!
