We in Germany are also actively use solar panels. But in winter the power of these batteries is not enough.
And I heard that there is a technology that the cable in the ground dig in and it gives more heat.
If anyone knows share your opinion?

The Churchill quote is one of my favorites. Big changes have been happening recently. One can hope they are unrelated or coincidental, that they won't snowball into more, but it's a very real danger. Congratulations for being one of the few who does their part.

The signs of climate change are all around, and the boy scouts have it right – be prepared. I'm saving for a country home where we can be more independent.

The tone of the article is defensive but shouldn't be. Being prepared is just common sense. I have preparation for short and long term emergencies. It's not bunker mentality, it's responsibility.

Kudos! Don't feel like an alarmist…I believe you are right! We ARE reactionary. Until it hits us between the eyes, humans in general are complacent. A little preparation goes a long way. My worry would be if things don't go well and you're one of the few who are prepared, it's gonna get ugly. Let's hope that doesn't happen!

I think you are wise to prepare but I don't think bars on the window is going to do much. If things get that bad I mean. Developing networks of support among like minded friends seems like the first and maybe best approach to take.

Very interesting article and a very serious issue. I wonder how your generator is powered though? Surely if its natural gas that would be more difficult to sustain long term than other alternatives? I do think learning to be more self sufficient is important these days in a highly consumer driven culture. Its scary to think about how reliant we are on purchasing almost everything we "need" for everyday life. I am hoping that with the recent world developments such as Libya and Egypt, even people who oppose change for environmental reasons will see that moving toward things like alternative energy is a worth while effort.

makes good sense to me too. why not learn ways to be independent and more efficient? considering the state of our planet and economy, this is what schools shoud be teaching.

I remember neighbors building fallout shelters in their back yards. Today's threats are no less real, and reasonable precautions are far less expensive and easier to undertake. I think your goal of finding property to grow on makes good sense, regardless of the outcome of climate changes.

I think being prepared for a disaster of whatever nature is just being prudent. Humans are generally complacent until things happen close to home that make them realize they are not immune. I live in New Zealand and just a few hundred kilometers away Christchurch, a city of about 400k, was hit by an earthquake that caused $20 billion worth of damage. I have food and water storage already but I have certainly checked and re-assessed the adequacy of what I have stored.
