Increasing demand and declining reliable supply could put people in
the dark.
Bitcoin mining is insane. AI, probably, too.
Like the scouts say, be prepared. For me that means a wood stove for heating, a generator, a LiFePO4 battery, a solar panel for that, and a
swamp cooler that runs on very little power. Plus lots of rechargeable
lights with exchangeable 19650 cells.
Oh, and ham radio. When the power goes the cell service usually knocks
off 15-200mins later. Landlines drop immediately due to that wonderful
VoIP stuff. That's when I hope neighbors will remember the house with
the strange antennas in case someone has a heart attack, a stroke, a fire or something else that requires help.
Until they realise that the emergency services have lost all their
communicaitons too, so there is no one who can receive your message.
