This is an #exceptional #thread on the current #eu #energy #crisis and explains why we can expect #rolling #blackouts this #winter with a 99% certainty (a number I can agree with): https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/15679.. The problem is that this #energy #crisis could last at least 5 years...
My #ups was one thing I #purchased to hedge against #blackouts , but it will not nearly be enough for #winter . It can maybe get through a few hours for a few small #devices , it will not #sustain a whole #house for long at all. I will likely be looking to install a larger #ups / #eps when I am able, perhaps several #kilowatts of #power . For #heat it will need to be something that #burns , #electricity is simply too #valuable for this purpose.
