Sheesh, I am a mechanical engineer and recently had an in office appointment to consult with a well educated, smart, and quite affluent individual...
He wanted a generator sized to take of his homes power supply in the event of a catastrophe, such as 2012...
It was hard not to laugh... <Me> "What are you forseeing happening?" <He> "Well Ive heard huge solar flares could blast the atmosphere away..."
<Me> "You want a generator that will keep your lights on with no planetary atmosphere?"
<He> "Yes, and it will need to run for awhile... I don't know how long it will take for the atmosphere to repair but we better figure a year's fuel.."
<Me> *Blink* *Blink*
Jammer *Blink*
