Re: The North Koreans had better hurry and EMP us
yes that's private power providers for the various regions but they aren't separate grids, there is only one power network of lines and pylons, if that shuts down we are in darkness. Actually there is not just one power network. Each of those companies operates power generation and distribution net...

Re: The North Koreans had better hurry and EMP us
I don't think this would apply to the UK power grid, I think in the US you have 3 power grids whereas we have only the one, that goes down then that's it, darkness reigns. I am happy to share with you the UK grid looks pretty diverse! http://www.energynetworks.org/info/faqs/electricity-distribution...

Re: The North Koreans had better hurry and EMP us
if an EMP blew the power I doubt there is anywhere to get power from nor would it be transferable to anywhere if the power grid is down, whether a place is given priority or not. The complexity of the electrical grids is also their saving grace. Areas can be isolated and bypassed or operated indepe...

Re: IPCC Reports TEOTWAWKI by 2030-40
To be fair on the China emissions issue, they manufacture enormous amounts of consumer goods for the rest of the world, so it's not like we have nothing to do with China's emissions. Good point. The problem is how China runs manufacturing in a less sustainable manner and pollutes much more per ton ...

Re: Gasifier Engine Systems for the PAW
If you're interested in gasifiers look up MrTeslonian on YT. He's got some pretty good builds and shows you how to store it, convert the gas into liquid fuel, etc. I've watched a lot of his stuff, he's a bit monotone so you have to ignore that but he's got some pretty crazy inventions. I'm at work ...

Re: Steam/Electric power plant
For sale on Ebay at $4.1K and it gives an idea of the challenges of building a boiler with all of the plumbing and features needed. The boiler body is made of 3/8" steel so a post-PAW community would need a good shop to manufacture working boilers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Steam-Engine-Boiler-Hand-P...
