In the event of an apocalypse basically nothing that you can charge is going to be of any use other than flashlights.
My house is quite rural and I have a water well with a battery backup for the pump and UV filter. The battery lasts for about 5-6 days depending on use. I can charge the battery from the grid or with solar.
If the cities get nuked, my well system will still function.
And think about one Trillionaire - Musk. All that money and he just trips on Ketamine and troll posts on Twitter. He’s doing nothing for society.
A regular human would be doing things just for fun like restoring an old building they liked, or saving some dying kid. Maybe going the Dolly Pardon route and giving books to kids.
Not Musk. He’s getting dick surgery to try and fix his dick from the last surgery and shitposting.
Gay as a day in May
Most of it. I rebuilt the well system when I bought the house. I installed the backup system from various components. It wasn’t a pre-built system. I COULD conserve power by shutting off the UV filter. I could probably run the pump for over a month on a single charge.
If something blows in the charge unit in the battery pack, and I can’t find a replacement part, then no. If the batteries fail, I can hack together a replacement if I can get batteries. I have various solar panels and charge controllers around and a 12k panel system on the roof I could tap into and convert if the grid stops. The well system can also run on a propane generator, but as we learned in Fiona, when the entire island (PEI) was dark for 11 days, propane supplies go quick. I had 8 full tanks so I was fine.
But that’s the same for anything in a house. If the world goes to shit, something happens and I break my toilet, and can’t find a replacement, then I’m shitting in the woods.
