   NOT to mention that when the Hurricanes pass through, electric can be   
   down for days weeks and even months depending on what part of the GRID   
   you're on and which parts they choose to repair first and last.   
      
   I was out of electricity and on a generator for a few hours a day for   
   over a month one time.  I could drive 30 or 40 miles for gas and   
   electricity, but I had to have a gas generator used for emergency Which   
   may or may NOT charge a TESLA...?   
      
   I also lived in the mountains where I lost power for a week due to an   
   ice storm that pulled down tree limbs and power lines, also Ran on a   
   generator for the LP heat and other things for a few hours a day.   
      
   Maybe we should all become Amish.... pray every day?   They don't use   
   Fossil Fuel.  Is that the Democrats plan, Satanic worship that uses no   
   fossil fuel..?  Like being Amish but Amish who hate God. We know   
   Democrats HATE America and Americans, it only makes sense that Democrats   
   HATE Amish and won't join the Amish community but the Democrats want to   
   force us all to live like Amish.  No electric and no fossil fuel use   
   unless you're an elite Democrat Billionaire.

   -That's karma-   
      
   The result is DEMOCRATS lies about history and reality to themselves and   
   others means their attempts to figure-out what's wrong is an exercise in   
   futility, because what they think they know they really don't know, and   
   fixing problems without the truth... becomes a fools errand.
