And that’s what’s going to happen if the rest of the world is suffering a sustained interruption. Oh, and how are you feeding your staff if the grocery stores are out of food and/or the water supply is interrupted?
Also you’re out of luck if people with guns decide to come take your nice digs away from you. That’s what full societal collapse looks like.
@hal_pomeranz Yeah, one of the things that upsets me is the false promise of biodiesel.
In theory: hey, you can grow your own fuel supply!
In practice, I have never found a biodiesel vendor which does such things.
The promises of "your fuel won't come from an unethical war waged overseas" doesn't bear fruit when the "local" biodiesel vendors continue to charge a premium, even HIGHER than petro-diesel. So, as petro-diesel rates go up, biodiesel rates go up EVEN HIGHER, because greed and profiteering even for the "hippies" I guess?
It's exasperating.
I guess it's still local; there are still wins for sure, but a lot of warfare is economic in nature, not just environmental.
