The PTB control over technologies

And, anyway, if it doesn't have fender mounted flame throwers and a rear facing bazooka, I'm not interested.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. If it gets to that point, then what IS the point?

If you can live off the land, preferably as a community in a more peaceful area, then you may be able to survive even such a scenario. With the predicted cometary bombardment and at least some Earth changes, it may even get to that in some or many places. Whether we are meant (or even want to on the soul level) to live through that is another question - it is probably a personal choice.

And maybe it won't even get that bad, since the future is open.

Unless you store a lot of fuel or can produce biofuel.

True. Fuel goes way faster than most people think.

I always store 30 gallons of alcohol-free gasoline. I burned through that in three days to keep the air conditioning running during last month's hurricane Beryl here in Houston.

My Parents would die without air conditioning. I can't take all their medical equipment to a shelter.

Ideally, I would have an old Diesel vehicle and a Diesel generator that can run on waste vegetable oil, and store hundreds of gallons of it in totes like this guy does...

In my case, I'm saving up money to move to a location like Colorado that is survivable without air conditioning.

I know almost nothing about living in cold climates, but I will learn!
