SOL is starting to look pretty cheap. I was thinking it might get to $50 this summer but it never got that low and that mini meme storm micro burst 🌪 popped off. I get you on stacking some for a swing trade or just for the long term stack.
It's interesting because I go back and forth between buying solar panels and preparing for the grid to go down and wanting to build that mega stack for the next big run up but also worried about a large macro collapse in the stock market, car market, housing market, and AI Terminators taking over. 🤪
I've never held SOL in the past even though I was taking a hard look at it after the first big scandal with it when the price dropped down under $20 or whatever it was. I wish I had pulled the trigger back then. If I were in the position, I would probably buy the solar panels. I don't want to put the money into my current house though.
A lot of the panels I'm getting are free standing and foldable panels encase the Gubment cuts the power to everyone as a false flag to say we need to ramp up efforts on the Forever wars.
Either that or an EMP or Nuke goes off
I'm trying to think of all possible scenarios and what would work and what wouldn't under certain conditions.
I got a battery power station that can be charged with AC power or solar panels. Also AC inverters that can be used if cars still can start and there is still fuel. My parents have 250 Gallons of fuel in a tank.
Theoretically we could be posted up for awhile if all the power had been cut off and the trucks weren't shipping things to stores but then you have to defend the fortress from scavengers.
We figure the new vehicles will get auto shut off and if the older vehicles boards get fried the only things that would run are some of the old tractors.
Most people would be in trouble in 3 days.
I've been looking at the jackery system. I don't know if it would be much help though. If things go sideways, there probably isn't much hope in general. Not without a lot of land and resources at your disposal.
I was getting ads for that system as well. I think there are going to be levels to how bad things could get depending on where someone is and how close to military bases or major metros they are. The cities are going to be a complete death trap for most emergencies. If the grid goes down for a couple weeks all over it would be complete chaos. If someone has land they could burn wood and make it through even just on canned stuff they had even if they didn't have battery systems or solar systems.
If it's a NUKE or EMP there would be various levels depending on blast radius.
I feel like just a grid failure for 90 days could damn near take out half the population. Shelves in stores would be empty in 3 days I feel like.
Posted up at my parent's house we could live for years if scavengers didn't come with a well armed force of 15 or 20 people type situation.
If there is nuclear fallout or some other situation that makes the area unliveable that would be a hard desision because we would have to pack up and try to get clear to Lake Michigan if it was summer and take a boat clear up North or Float the Rivers South if it's winter.
Either route would be an issue. Our best bet would be if we were able to hunker down.
We live right down wind from a major chemical plant, so we would probably be dead in the first bit. At least it will be quick I guess.
