I saw your post just below one I just published: https://blurt.blog/energy/@rycharde/seminar-on-new-energy-devices
Sadly, solar does not have the energy density to be the only source, especially in cold climates. It can be a patch, but is not a fix.

The decentralization of electricity amid energy crisis
Hello, that's an interesting coincidence!
If it's only a patch, I think that's a needed patch right now. Many people have to stay without electricity at all.
sure, sorry to see so many places in dire need.
Was just something Greer said in that video - that he owns the largest private solar panel farm in his state, and even he can't generate enough power to heat his home in the winter. Lighting is important to feel safe, and electricity for comms, but using electricity to create heat is very inefficient. If in serious need of warmth, rather than electricity, then maybe look lower tech, like furnaces. I hope life gets better soon.
Good points. In this article I didn't mean that electricity will be used for producing warmth, gas is often used to heat buildings, and houses, but even here what I've read is that this winter period will be a hard one. And of course, financially it will be harder for many people. The worst thing is that we don't know what to expect from the enemy.
