How do you live without electricity - By Anita Evangelista
For most modern Americans, the loss of power means the complete loss of normalcy. Their lifestyle is so dependent upon the grid’s constancy that they do not know how to function without it. How do you cook a meal if your gas stove has an electric ignition? How do your children find their way to the bathroom at night if the light switches don’t work? How do you keep warm if your wood heat is moved through ducts by an electric fan? What do you do with a freezer full of expensive meat? How do you find out what is happening in your area with the TV and radio silent? What will you drink if your water comes from a system dependent on electrical pumps?
These are questions that both the Red Cross and Federal Emergency Management Agency are asking people to seriously consider. Both of these agencies have suggested that preparations for three days without power are prudent commonsense actions that all Americans should now undertake.
P.S. the last hotlink and the last article this author submitted were both accepted and confirmed to be published but that never happened, or maybe a technical error has kept them from being visible to the public here since they were accepted / published. This is my reason for submitting this as a diary. I don't know why my writings are not being published. I only know that my pleas to have this looked into have all been ignored and left unanswered. Guilt by association? Some subtle form of punishment? Or just a few sick and deranged power hungry individuals on the loose? You decide.
BR, tony
