Battery power and solar backup. Really, if it gets so bad that that won't work, we will
revert to the 19th century.

A conservative attitude (don't do anything until it is tested) does not push us in any
direction except staus quo. Remember we are teach wisdom and experience from the past for
the future, not to preserve past behaviors. In that endeavor to experiment we will make
mistakes, but to not experiment is to fail to reach for the future.
