TWC Podcast #102: Going Full Prepper
By Phil Royle — Jan. 19, 2023
We go full prepper this week sorting through the good, the bad, and the ugly of gasoline vs. electricity when the power goes out for an extended period of time. That leads to the next logical conversation: Would you want to drive an EV during a zombie apocalypse? We also discuss underground gravity energy storage mines, an anti EV bill in Wyoming, and more!
