Fuel Storage and Energy Production
Fuel Storage
Solar Panels
Since normal supply of fuel and electricity will likely be severely hampered in the wake of a large-scale national disaster, residents of The Resort at Forest Haven will be encouraged to maintain multiple years’ supply of essential fuel and energy resources. Each family residence at The Resort at Forest Haven should make a concerted effort to ensure their property is properly equipped for prosperity not only in current times of economic and social stability, but also for times when the connectedness of society may have broken down.
Fuel supplies at stations across the country will begin to dwindle within days if trucks are not making their regular deliveries. So to ensure that your family and friends have an ample supply of both fuel and energy production capabilities for an extended period of time, the following fuel storage and energy production practices are highly recommended for each resort resident family. First, each family will store ample supplies of gasoline, diesel, and propane in various areas on their property. In addition, trees will be planted (assuming the lot is not already fully forested) to ensure that a ready supply of wood for burning, building, and other uses will be available. Just as essential as fuel reserves will be methods to produce power and electricity for a myriad of uses. In order to accomplish this, each property will have an extensive array of solar panels in place as well as a complete set packed away in secure faraday storage facilities. In addition, an industrial-strength steam engine will be hooked up, used periodically, and maintained in proper-working order. An identical spare steam engine that is not hooked up but is to be used for backup or for replacement parts will also be stored. Lastly, generators will be stored along with the panels in the faraday storage area.

Often, sustainability is discussed only in the context of energy. Energy sustainability is essential – but the word has a much broader meaning. It means long-term thinking about how we manage… and plan for the future. This requires vision and leadership, and it requires… engagement.

While we all benefit in some ways from modern technology, I do wonder what state our world would be in if we suddenly lost the electrical power necessary to keep our communications functioning. Would the younger generations know how to grow crops to feed a family? Would they know how to drop anchor and wait for the catch? Would they know how to survive by the sweat of the brow? New is good. Old is necessary.
