Leaks all along the line, I guess per the video @PatriciaK linked. And other (more reliable?) sources have reported . I don't have gas to the house , just propane in the van.
This clearly states that it is unencumbered by facts. It is like the Onion. This is silly entertainment. Such as, kids that are born like a Kit-Kat bar.

I have been noodling an idea for a portable pack, of which there are many available on the market currently (sic), even get one in Costco. However I have a different concept of how it would all be in regards to amount of Ah's and portability but also if needed for emergency use at home. The portability part is going to require some faster charge rates due to the size, probably around 50ah's, which can fully charge my eBike 780wh battery 4 times and still provide enough for some LED lighting at the campsite. As mentioned some folding solar panels for whatever they can provide while stationary and away from the grid. And having it be easily moved around, approx. 30lbs of battery, and small enough to store easily also.
Get an inverter, hook them up and find out.
I disagree with you totally about Dune. I think it gets better with every reading! (Even if it sort of an addlepated mix of mid-east politics and mysticism with a healthy dose of acid.) Fear IS the mind-killer!
Yeah, I hear you on the fireplace. And on the all-or-nothing thinking. I use very small fire logs in our old fireplace and only use them once a week or so in the winter -- maybe a dozen logs a year, 20 on the coldest years... we sit in front of an electric heater that has a fake fire in front, so we're getting real heat from the fake fire while we watch the fake firelog fire. (I think the firelog does add about one or two degrees of heat if you sit right next to it!)
Had to laugh at this... our house is so poorly insulated that it's 52 degrees inside when it's 45 outside with a 10 MPH wind! We have had temperatures as low as 48 or 49 indoors--- it actually does get into the 30s in Los Angeles on some rare nights-- and high temperatures of over 110 in the rooms with southwestern exposure.
The story back then was that Dune was written at a summer writers retreat that featured very good grass as well as mysticism. The author added the giant worms after seeing some real worms in the garden compost.Terra forming was just an idea at the time.
The "golden age" of science fiction was about 15. Apparently "Stranger in a Strange Land" was required reading in the early days of Microsoft, so maybe 25 tops.

Lighter than air, is due to make a comeback. The Nazis gave Zeppelins( plus cheap fossil fuel) a black eye after the depression not to mention all the Auto companies and trucks as well destroying the mass transit infrastructure
I do that myself I have a small woodstove in a well insulated addition I built on the ugh" manufactured house I live in
Total agreement, I go in the big lumber company( public scalping stores) and see these things and I think"WTF?"
If you install one( propane log) make sure it is vented, the moisture and fumes will literally make you sick.
Let me add this basswood and Locust do not have to "trash trees Locust given a little time will produce superlative firewood and basswood if managed and allowed to grow big enough makes very pretty paneling, fire retardant newspaper seems to burn fairly well, little brother and me took down a doublewide insulated in the roof with "cellulose insulation', the fire started with a grease fire in the kitchen and it looked like the ground up newspaper was burning merrily along, the house was severely damaged. We insulated a floor with that ground-up insulation and I will never use that stuff again it was incredibly corrosive and PITA to install, however it is a very good insulator, nuff said on that matter. It seems the all-electric house concept was fueled by the "nuclear energy boom " in part, the Nuclear plant at Surrey has produced megawatts of clean, zero death or sickness electricity for decades
