Funnily enough, gas pumps require electricity. However, you can generate electricity yourself with solar panels, wind generation, or other methods. You can't generate your own gasoline.
The self-reliant durable solution is electric. If the grid is down and you can't generate your own electricity then your gas heating is down, gas pumps are out, and almost any other gas system is shut down unless they're hooked up to a generator of some kind (gas, solar, etc.). If you can generate electricity then any will work. If you can't then electric is out of commission just as much as gas. Once the tank/battery is empty then it's dead.
Wait till you find out what can run on alcohol (not just the driver)
Solar power isn't there yet. You're depending on a future dream for you delusional thoughts.
Oh, so I guess the 15kWp on my roof that generated 14 MWh last year was just a dream then.
What went wrong in your life?
Dude, there are people who already do it. What do you mean it isn't there yet? How can people be doing it when it isn't there?
Nope, propaganda is propaganda. Sorry you're dumb enough to fall for it.
I absolutely love how you said this to yourself. It's just so perfect.
