Odds are you’re like me. You have a boring job, and a wife or girlfriend. Maybe you have some kids, maybe you have a dog. You have a mortgage, or rent, or whatever. And your job isn‘t just boring, I mean it’s mind-numbing, where people walk around like zombies everyday. An actual zombie apocalypse would at least mean you could do something about it.

Zombies Hate Renewable Energy

• • • — — — • • •

Going green is good for a lot of reasons, but the Zombie Apocalypse is one of the best ones in my opinion. Solar and wind power are power sources that will continue to power the grid even after complete chaos. They don't require the maintenance or monitoring that other forms do, and when all hell breaks loose, they can be used by the survivors. Oh, and they're renewable, of course. The more modular things become before the Z-Poc happens, the better. Right now, I can think of one place with solar power in my immediate vicinity. What if there were people on my block that had it? What if I had it? What if when you grabbed somone elses solar panels, you could just neatly snap them into your? Almost like Legos or some other modular building system. I suppose that would make them valuable for many other types of problems as well, but right now we're talking about important things, like zombies. Did you know that you can buy a small windmill for under two grand? Because you can. I've got two on my cabin right now. They power more than you might think. My neighbors laugh at me and call them "eyesores". Idiots. They have guns, so they might survive the outbreak, but they have electric heat, so without some way to heat their cabins, they won't survive the winter. So shortsighted. It's painful to watch sometimes.
