Not even close to true. Propaganda talk. Also, good luck when the power goes out. Just stop the nonsense.

Funnily enough, gas pumps require electricity. However, you can generate electricity yourself with solar panels, wind generation, or other methods. You can't generate your own gasoline.

The self-reliant durable solution is electric. If the grid is down and you can't generate your own electricity then your gas heating is down, gas pumps are out, and almost any other gas system is shut down unless they're hooked up to a generator of some kind (gas, solar, etc.). If you can generate electricity then any will work. If you can't then electric is out of commission just as much as gas. Once the tank/battery is empty then it's dead.

Solar power isn't there yet. You're depending on a future dream for you delusional thoughts.

Oh, so I guess the 15kWp on my roof that generated 14 MWh last year was just a dream then.
