    I suppose. I’d be surprised if the US got poorer to the point they can’t provide electricity and maintain the units, though.

    (so long as you know how to use a wood stove).

    Fun fact, the Inuit made do with no wood or quality fuel of any kind, even. Just body heat and maybe a little whale oil and fur lantern. What they lacked in sources they made up with lots of insulation.

      It depends on where in the US we’re talking about.

      I mentioned Texas specifically because the power grid there has had some high profile failures and issues in the last 5 years. They’ve fixed some of it and embezzled money for other repairs. Now they’re farming crypto on it.
