But upcoming developments in portable chargers (that do not have to be plugged in) are making it easier for you to pack an emergencypowersupply and keep your conversation going.
Other possible plans include rewarding firms for maintaining stand-by capacity to supplypower to the grid in an emergency, and preventing the construction of new coal stations that do not have some way of capturing and storing their planet-heating emissions.
Each unit can also serve as a source of electrical power for the military, or emergency response, something always in short supply in forward operating positions.
And micro-grids are getting a good luck, as they could supply the necessary power to the local gas station, supermarket, emergency shelter, police and fire station until the larger systems are restored.
