Year round renewable energy?

[Skean Dhude]

Although I see wind as a crap power source it is one that is suitable for prepping more than current everyday use. You see there are peaks to power consumption in the UK. While people put the kettle on during adverts in Corrie and the like. We won't have that problem because we will adapt to using the power while the wind is available. We can charge our batteries, pump water, etc. when the wind blows and if it doesn't blow enough we can do most of what we are looking at doing without electricity. I think a wind turbine is something worth looking at depending on the wind at your location.

A waterwheel is good but you need to have a fast running water source to utilise. If you have one then hydro is the way to go imo.

For ease of use and flexibility then solar is our main choice. Put the panels in suitable locations and they are away. Only thing is they, and the batteries, have limited life so they will only last so long. However, it is more than enough to get you set up. This makes solar the preppers choice.

Not forgetting solar without the wires. Solar cookers, solar condensers, etc. all these can reduce the power requirements from whatever you have generating electrickery.

Finally, a bit out of reach for most of us is our own nuclear generator. There are thousands of these around but nobody ever sells then in prepper sites. Got a spare £100K and you can have one after filling out a bazillion forms.
