[QUOTE="Josh in FLA, post: 283197, member: 9933"] Don't worry, one little EMP will make most of the electrical goodies a no-go. I like the idea of solar, as it has less maintenance requirements such as fuel and oil for motor and brushes for the generator. My main problem with solar is replacement batteries if it turns into long term issue. Then again there was that episode of Gilligan's Island where the professor rigged something up with copper wire and coconuts, I believe but it's been a while. Might be good for an extreme backup scenario. My meager preparations deal with basics food, water, and security. Man lived along time without electricity. It's nice but not necessary. [/QUOTE]
