RE: 100.000 STEEM for VENEZUELA
You learned something valuable, didn't you? There are many fools around here who believe their own stories.
Do you have access to technical devices to make yourself independent from power grid? Are there locals forming to help each other out in building stationary wind mills or other solutions for getting electricity?
And how much rain do you have so you might collect water and filter it?
Is this something you people think of?
Stay well.
Great questions. I'm afraid I have negative answers for all of them.
I have been thinking about posting about both the electricity crisis and the water crisis. With all the complications, I have not been able to.
We are more vulnerable than you can imagine.
We have very few options or alternatives.
Unless you have enough money to afford a power plant, if there is a blackout that's it for the average Joe.
As for the water problem, we need to learn home-made ways to filter water. other than boiling it and filtering with some peace of cloth, there is no much we do with water. Most people get sick because they do not even boil it.
In the are I live we get very little rain all year long.
Are people around who gather and find help in building little street-communities? Are people at hand who have some engineer knowledge? Can money be collected to buy something via Internet-Shops?
As long you have in times of electricity working access to the Internet, what are you waiting for? As it seems self-help is required.
I was searching for portable solar systems and emergency electricity generators and stuff like that. Here are some links, I do not know whether the findings are worth something but might give you some ideas:

this is what a purchaser wrote about the solar panel:
Also, there are plenty of solutions for filtering water in a good and healthy way. Use your access to the Internet while it's lasting.
I would like more to hear of you people to help each other out. If nobody starts an initiative I guess you could.
