You wouldn't need the bucket. Electrons are like little balls and they spin, so they could just roll down the road. The empty battery in the EV is depleted of electrons, so it will have a positive charge attracting the rolling electrons. All you need to do is point the charger plug down the road in the direction of the EV and it will fill up automagically. --- Reminds me of the best description of an electron I've ever heard. Electrons are like little balls and they spin, except that they aren't and they don't. |

A lot of good playbooks written for that case. --- End quote --- As people discover, petrol stations (mostly) rely on the grid for pumping and/or selling fuel. So either way so either way its supply your own or go without. --- End quote --- Not really. You can always stick a hand pump into the storage tank and pump the fuel up into your car by hand. What you'll need most is cash to pay for the gas. |

C'mon remember covid, we will run out of loo roll in a few days. Then the world will just go to hell. I 2013 Channel 4 in the UK did a series called Blackout that covered 5 days without power. I remember that it raised a few eyebrows in the emergency planning rooms. I enjoy the dooms day prep types as they panic over everything, often over thinking the problem. Going back to the video, some people are rather stupid. Towing a car at 70mph on a rope. Sod that. |

This feeds I to people thinking it's cool. Darwin still at work today. I feel for the emergency services who have to clear this crap up. |
