The wind turbines on this drive got me thinking about I'll asinine our energy plans are. I just don't think people realize the amount of diesel fuel required to extract the minerals the metals the rare Minerals that are needed to build batteries to build fairings and turbines they don't realize that the heavy drills that do this work the machines they pull it up out of ground The Rock Crushers disorders the dump trucks the delivery trucks the Earth movers all of that is running on diesel to pull out those minerals to make you your precious little battery so you can think you're helping the environment it's a complete Nutter crock of shit. It's never going to happen the electric future is not coming of course when you say that everyone immediately pictures the opposite of our sort of fantasy future which is fantasy destruction and collapse and I don't I don't think that's coming either we don't get drama we get slow decline our future is slowly slowly Goods or even crappier and crappier until they don't work anymore so you can't fix that electric car so you can't get power at your house and then you know if you say that everybody always wants to have a time frame on it I don't know who knows that's the kind of thing that could take 10 years it could take a hundred years it depends depends on too many variables for anyone to say I do think dz qthat in the next decade outside of cities and by cities I mean fairly large metropolitan areas 100,000 people outside of those regions it's going to be very hard to get power it's going to be limited I think you're going to be on your own for power maybe on your own for water and probably on your own for sanitation as well so you know if you're living out in the Hitler lands like we have and you own property which we never have I would be making plans I would be digging Wells if I could I'd be figuring out how to live with less electricity I'd be buying kerosene lamps kerosene whale oil things like that they're going to come back unfortunately there's very few whales left so that ain't going to last long either but I would definitely be making plans for situations like that if I were out there and you know that's that's one of the things I will be driving this bus around at all you know we're looking to transition to a boat for precisely that reason you know it eliminates a lot of dependencies on fossil fuels that are going to be hard to come by and yeah boats have engines sure but you know sailing on and off anchor is is a skill you can learn it can you always do it now sometimes you can't do it but it certainly has more options than an RV which doesn't go anywhere without oil and gas
