Blackouts Imminent this Summer. Please be prepared.

Due to oil and gas shortages, the news pundits speculated that there will be blackouts in heavily populated urban areas, and most especially in mismanaged areas like California.

"They" are saying that due to the shortages blackouts will now become a regular thing all over the country, especially on very hot days when everyone is running their air conditioners. If you are living in a high rise, this might be the difference between life and death for the elderly.

Heat stroke is no joke.

IF you can afford it, please buy some battery operated fans, and don't forget to buy the batteries.

Even without an air conditioner, you can cool off by dampening your clothing with cold water and allowing the fan to dry you.

You can also get into a cold shower, and last but not least, here are the plans for a home made battery operated air conditioner:

@OceanRoses I don't think "they" have a plan. If you live in a high rise apartment, how are you going to stay cool and alive on the very hottest days of summer if we lose all electricity? I think we just have to plan for blackouts, like they are saying on the news channels.
