I picked up an extra battery at the dispensary today. I'm not too worried. That may equal the population of Wyoming, but it's a tiny percentage of the state. I suppose if it came down to it, I could go old school like a barbarian and use flame.
Of course it's PG&E. Maybe if those clowns would stop burning down the state they'd enough cash to invest in infrastructure repairs and keep the power on.
They already upgraded their infrastructure in my part of the state (brand new poles, new line suspension, quick-blow fuses, etc.) and the falling trees just smashed it to bits. Nothing but underground power lines could have withstood this storm, and due to the topology of this area there's no way they're undergrounding the lines here.
