Backpacking, huh...? Cool... ever done it in an urban area in the middle of a full scale catastrophe surrounded by 100's of thousands of scared desperate others who didn't plan for shit; and will do anything, and take from anyone to see to their own survival? Because not unlike you... They're depending on these systems to save them, and everyone else. They won't. Good luck.Sure you do. And even if you did. When was the last time you practiced living off of your preps in a grid down scenario? For how long? I bet dollars to donuts the answer is never.The results of no power for months will be devastating
......but yep happens all the time.. Gawd dam.

We are so lucky, especially in California, we have many solar panels and wind mills creating power which will allow us to live with much more comfort than those in Puerto Rico or in one of the Red States. Thank you President Obama and Governor Brown.
You seem to be suffering grossly from a false sense of security. So when you come up for air from blowing the ghost of Obama you might want to take a second to realize that the paltry amount of power That is generated by the means your so happy about; travels through the same grid as the rest. If the grid goes down... Youre fucked unless you personally have these systems hardwired into your home, or BOL. Now wipe your chin...The results of no power for months will be devastating

First of all fuck you are your vile and vulgar comments. You've proved to be an asshole and an ignorant one. Many schools in CA have covered their parking lots with solar power, as have the roofs in many office buildings. Those schools and office buildings when used as shelters will have solar power, at least during the daylight hours.
Many homes in CA are putting solar panels on their roof, and many of us have solar panels we can use to charge batteries for lighting, and larger storage batteries which can run a low watt appliance.
We liver in Earthquake County, we have EQ Insurance, canned goods for at least a month and cases of water, just in case. Lots of flashlights, propane for heat and cooking on our Big Green Egg and a van with power outlets.
Progressive and liberals look forward and plan a head, we have a store of first aid supplies and were prepared for most anything, at least until Trump made a mess of our foreign policy.
I'd win. Ever been backpacking? I have. Mountain trout and dry freeze food. Yum.
